My hunch is that it is not going to be fixed soon, since the breakage known so far is limited and there are a plethora of transitions even without adding another one for sqlite. You may speed this up if you can prove that Lenny packages break with the libsqlite3-0 from Squeeze. The maintainer is probably not going to be of much help in any case, since he had shown some signs of utter incompetence in the past¹, and I'm not sure how much he has learned from the reactions to the problems he introduced. ¹ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=478337 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=496482 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Problems Upgrading librdf0
I'm running a mixed system, and currently have librdf0_1.0.8-1 installed. librdf0_1.0.8-2 recently migrated to testing and I keep running into bug 522103 during the upgrade. Specifically, librdf0 wants a new version of libsqlite3-0, but it apparently has a ABI (and based on my read, API) change that is not reflected in the package name and SONAME. I'm concerned about this, since I have a number of packages (18) that depend on libsqlite3-0 and might break because of that. I'm not sure if there is anything I can add to the bug, but I'd like to know how it is going to be addressed and, if there is an ETA, when. I'd also like to increase the visibility of the bug, hence this message. Based on the Changelog, the upgrade from 1.0.8-1 to 1.0.8-2 only fixed a single bug that doesn't affect me, so my existing work-around (don't upgrade librdf0) should work as long as I need it to. This will still cause me a little annoyance, since I run aptitude search '~U' from a daily cronjob, and this package will remain on the list. Pinning the package should alleviate that, I hope. Any other potential work-arounds? -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/\_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
