Literally speaking, the idea that it | is only a bug if the package doesn't track correctly seems well worked out. In stable that would still be less than ideal since it is a finished product. However our context seems to be a testing system and a mixed-stable system. I hadn't thought much of it and scarfed libtre5 from sid.

I hope it will not be an elinks issue.

Mine regards testing, compels me to ascertain info and maybe file a report. Your's regards mixed-stable, seems to involve triangulation and esoteric discussion. :) -- Kind Regards, Freeman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
