Libextractor, and therefore the packages which are depending on it, 
needs as soon as possible a libglib-2.0_pic.a to link against to enter 
Sarge.

Please read http://bugs.debian.org/282342
I don't understand why it cannot link directly to the shared version. 
Static linking against libraries for Debian packages should be avoided 
like hell, be it only for security updates.

quoted from #282342:
LE *must* link statically against
gobject, otherwise the -Bsymbolic would not solve
http://ovmj.org/~mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=787
which actually results in a hard bug in the software (yes, you're 
reading me
correct here, if you link dynamically and not statically the code will 
under
certain circumstances *not* work at all, and static linking is the only 
good
solution).

Currently, the ole2 plugin is disabled on hppa - should be just a 
workaround and not a permanent solution. The static PIC libglib is still 
needed.
