Public bug reported: Binary package hint: libffi4
Currently the shared object libffi.so.4 which is contained in libffi4 is missing from Intrepid. The removal of this library currently breaks at least one application. In this case its "glipper". The dependency breakage with glipper is seen in the file _keybinder.so. The file is located /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/glipper/keybinder/ directory. You can see the needed dependency if you run the following command: ironman:~> objdump /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/glipper/keybinder/_keybinder.so -x|grep ffi NEEDED libffi.so.4 istributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch) Release: 8.10 Codename: intrepid Package: libffi4 Status: deinstall ok config-files Priority: optional Section: libs Installed-Size: 56 Maintainer: Ubuntu Core developers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: gcc-4.2 Version: 4.2.3-2ubuntu7 Config-Version: 4.2.3-2ubuntu7 Depends: gcc-4.2-base (= 4.2.3-2ubuntu7), libc6 (>= 2.7-1) Description: Foreign Function Interface library runtime A foreign function interface is the popular name for the interface that allows code written in one language to call code written in another language. ** Affects: gcc-4.2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: libffi4 - Currently the shared object libffi.so.4 which is contained in libffi is + Currently the shared object libffi.so.4 which is contained in libffi4 is missing from Intrepid.
