Why did the libc5 dependent > version disappear from bo? xoj_1.01-1.deb, the one that "depended" on libc5, was miscompiled by the debian maintainer (about 3 bugs filed against that package, over a 6 month perioud, I think), and finaly he decided to recompile it. As the libc5 version simply doesn't work, I guess the powers that be decided (wisely) to remove it from bo. In short, there hasn't been a working xoj package for the last 6 or so months (except maybe if you had _very_ old libc5 stuff), and the xoj-..-2 one is the first working one. -- joost witteveen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] #!/bin/perl -sp0777ihttp://www.dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/rsa/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

What happened to seyon and xoj?
Because I keep a (very) partial mirror of Debian on a machine at work (which is not Net connected), particularly the Packages files, I track changes to the Packages files closely. Recently I've noticed at least 2 packages have disappeared from the pre-hamm distribution. They've stayed that way for days so it's not just a mirror sync problem. The seyon package no longer exists in the non-free section, and grepping through bo's Contents file doesn't find it either. It is in hamm/non-free/comms/seyon_2.14c-4.deb, and according to the package information depends on libc5 and not libc6. Why does it no longer exist in the stable/frozen version of non-free? The xoj package also no longer exists in bo/binary/games, though the Contents file for bo still shows it. There is a version of xoj in unstable/binary/games/xoj_1.01-2.deb, but it depends on libc6 so it can only be used on an hamm system. Why did the libc5 dependent version disappear from bo? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
