fistfight between libc6-dev and joystick
severity 17382 important
thanks
We still have the situation where upgrading libc6-dev obliterates
/usr/include/linux/joystick.h (belonging to the joystick package) without
notice or warning. This is bad. It affects seemingly unrelated operations
on the system like...oh, I don't know, building xfree86.
I'm not about to argue with the gurus over what packages have stomping
rights in /usr/include/linux. I just know that everything that uses i386
joysticks expects that header file there. Folks with clues and/or
solutions should of course reassign this bug if necessary. Please, please
fix it.
In exchange for upgrading this bug, the next release of xfree86 (the one I
was trying to build when I got bit by this one) will fix *all* outstanding
release-critical bugs against it -- including the one I had forwarded
upstream. I got a patch from XFree86 last night.
