:-) Look at http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html Search for xmms -- there are a few pointers to bug reports. Also see what: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=xmms&sev-inc=critical&sev-inc=grave&sev-inc=serious has to say. Also there is a link which answers the question, "why is this package not in testing yet" which unfortunately I don't have off the cuff[1], but if you are running testing then you should at least know about them. [1] Hopefully google will bring up the answer. -- Chris. ====== -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
