Re: status of jackd? (bug #318098)

[Josh Metzler <joshdeb@metzlers.org>]

For the record, bug #318098 is related to the gcc transition - the packages 
that will get removed if jackd is installed are most of kde.  A new kde 
could not be uploaded to change the dependency to the new libjack0.100.0-0 
because of the chain of dependencies that had to make the gcc transition 
before kde can.

That said, as libjack is not a c++ library, it seems possible that this 
problem might have been avoided if the libjack transition had waited until 
after the gcc transition.
