Get used to it... http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=100346&repeatmerged=yes Incidentally, the best fix for the problem you cite is probably the build-environment-info-in-.debs proposal. I don't have a cite for you but it came up in -devel or -policy within the past month. After all, relying on a library to have internal versioning information doesn't do much good if the upstream doesn't put any in it. -- G. Branden Robinson | Exercise your freedom of religion.
