these should be fixed (except for libmagick4g-lzw which has yet another
problems) by simply recompiling.
I could do imaptools fsviewer and xloadimage.

another recompile? Maybe there are other problems. Don't know glib so well.

recompile. Could do it.

I've looked at it. But it cannot be only recompiled :((

this should explain it
wine (0.0.990704-2) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer Andrew Lenharth.
* Repackaged.
* libwine0.0.971116 renamed to libwine

I'm filling a bugreport.

maybe this should be removed as it doesn't/can't work with glibc-2.1

these two packages are obsolete. Should be removed. Is the maintainer with us
again. I recall a request for NMU on d-d.
