Hello, I plan to do a mass bug filing (Priority: Important) tomorrow. There are 108 (binary) packages which still depend on libcrypt7 or gnutls10. gcrypt7/gnutls10 are not supported by Upstream. Further rationale has been posted to d-release last week[1]. See also today's DWN issue. The move to gcrypt11 and gnutls11 should be painless and only require a recompilation in most cases; this has been tested extensively. If there are problems, I or Upstream will be happy to assist. My goal is to have *no* packages depend on gcrypt7 or gnutls10 in Sarge. Arguments as to why the intended Priority: is wrong will be considered. (Flames won't be.) [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2004/07/msg00075.html NB: gnutls11 depends on gcrypt11 and opencdk8. opencdk8 still depends on gcrypt7. This is intentional, as updating opencdk8 will break d-i. Because of symbol versioning, this is not a problem, other than a very small waste of main memory / startup time, and it will be fixed ASAP. -- Matthias Urlichs
