Actually, I tested it on a.d.nl myself :-) That works fine.
Hmmm....
$ ls -lc /usr/bin/dh_suidregister
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1831 Dec 22 08:49 /usr/bin/dh_suidregister
Looks like debhelper was upgraded on a.d.nl yesterday morning!
I don't think that it's that important to do an NMU; I'm sure there'll
be another version of mutt to frozen before the deepfreeze :-(
There are other things that also need NMU's for simple recompiles to
eliminate obsolete dependencies; libguile-1.2 is gone, and so is
libguile-1.3 (or is almost). Any others? Anyway, I think that we
shouldn't get into a panic about this, seeing the rate of uploads into
frozen for i386; most will probably be rebuilt in the course of things
anyway.
Everybody just make sure that they have the correct (latest) -dev
packages installed, before compiling stuff! (Yes, I've been guilty
myself.)
Chris, are you going to do an upload of libc6.1-dev? If so, could you
fix the following line in /usr/include/netinet/ip_fw.h:
u_int32_t fw_pcnt, fw_bcnt; /* Packet and byte counters */
The u_int32_t should be unsigned long; that's what it is in the kernel
source. This is what's screwing ipfwadm.
