Err, I've never heared that partial upgrades were supported. AFAIK, if you decide to stay on etch and want to upgrade libxine1 only, the procedure is called a 'backport'. For backports, this indeed shouldn't be done. Instead, I'd suggest that the backporter would either stay with the package layout from etch or alternatively add a Depends on libxine1-x in the libxine1 package. > Yes. It sounds to me that the cure is worse than the disease. Sorry? Can you please elaborate on this? This change has not been uploaded yet, so we still have time to reconsider. But please make sure that you have read and understood the problem and the arguments from #439389 first. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4
