Hello In the Cc'ed bug report we were asked to created a libmysqld-pic package that only contains libmysqld_pic.a which should be compiled with -fPIC. As I'm no library expert I gladly follow the recommendation of Policy §10.2 and ask for comments :) The reason for creating this package was that libmysqld.a (the embeddable MySQL server) should be included in other shared libraries, like one from Modestas' Amarok package. bye, -christian-
