   Hi Giorgio,

   You have lots of tasks to do in http://qa.debian.org/ . See the links at
the left, for example "Bugs tagged help, security and unreproducible". If you
need help with the BTS, see http://www.debian.org/Bugs/ and
http://people.debian.org/~moshez/bts-howto.html .

   Good luck,

 Why gphoto2 is still called that way? Shouldn't it be gphoto?

Numeric stability is probably not all that important when you're guessing.

gphoto has been removed from unstable and will not be in the next stable
release.

Attn: Mass bug filing: libtool requires updating

2003-06-29 Thread Scott James Remnant
Version 3.39-1 of the file utility changed the format of the output line
for MIPS shared libraries again.

Older versions of libtool.m4 use the file utility and a regular
expression to determine if something is a shared library or not.  This
regular expression does not match the new file output format.

Newer versions of libtool instead use a much better checking method,
however the following source packages have not updated (list obtained by
grepping mips and mipsel build logs for the warning).

This means that on the mips and mipsel architectures the following
warning is produced during configure.

*** Warning: the command libtool uses to detect shared libraries,
*** /usr/bin/file, produces output that libtool cannot recognize.
*** The result is that libtool may fail to recognize shared libraries
*** as such.  This will affect the creation of libtool libraries that
*** depend on shared libraries, but programs linked with such libtool
*** libraries will work regardless of this problem.  Nevertheless, you
*** may want to report the problem to your system manager and/or to
*** [EMAIL PROTECTED]

An updated libtool will produce the following message during configure
output on mips (a good method of checking whether you've updated or
not).

checking how to recognise dependent libraries... pass_all
 

In order to update your packages to the latest version of libtool,
ensure that libtool_1.4.3-10 is installed on your system and run the
following commands from the source directory.

$ libtoolize -cf
$ aclocal
$ autoconf

You should also remove any "libtool" or "ltconfig" file left lying
around from a previous version of libtool.

Failure to run *all three* means you'll end up with a funted version of
libtool.

Also make sure that you run them in any sub-directory which ALSO runs
libtool ( find . -type f | grep -e ltconfig -e ltmain )
