Uhm, so we (even I) can add an option (like "-P") to ocaml-ldconf that purge "spurious" entries in /var/lib/ocaml/ld.conf and call it from each 'broken' package. This seems to me a good solution. Moreover write such a fix tool in ocaml-ldconf is easier because all the parsing work is already coded. > the kind.

You haven't yet managed to convince me why we can't, once we have a working fix tool (like the above "ocaml-ldconf -P"), call it from the ocaml postinst script :) Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli - undergraduate student of CS @ Univ.
