Hi, Johannes.

I've changed the Architecture and updated the package to use your new
upstream source tarball as Andreas recommended. I'm testing it locally,
and it all seems to be working OK. I'll commit the debian files to the
svn repository that we are using and ask Andreas' advice about how to
submit an updated "flexbar" package to Debian-Med correctly.

Please CC your reply to the debian-med list as Andreas suggested.

Thanks,

  Tony.
