I see. No real problem anyway.
One other dependency issue: I can't use apt right now because it wants to
remove libstdc++2.10-dev. It seems that while the library package has a
correct dependency, the development package depends on "libc6 (>=2.95.1)"..
both apt and dselect are annoyed about this, but dselect is easier to fake
out..

Yes.

Ah, I see. That fixed it. Thanks!

Ok. I just uploaded Hurd compiles of aptitude and lftp. aptitude will
compile out of the box in the next source upload (this was binary-only) --
I forgot to conditionalize one "#include <pthread.h>". (I also will really
set up build-depends..) lftp compiled very nicely; I figured an upload was
overdue since the old version in the Hurd archives lacked most functionality (it
could only print "Segmentation Fault" :-) )

Ok.

Ah, thanks :)
