retitle 181810 Woody backport will not install on Sarge - libfreetype6 incompatibility tag 181810 + sarge thanks On Thu, Feb 20, 2003 at 08:49:54PM +0000, Neil Darlow wrote: > openoffice.org-bin is held back on upgrade for Sarge because it depends > on libfreetype6-2.0.9 while Sarge has libfreetype6-2.1.2. > > Can the dependency be changed to libfreetype6 >=2.0.9 to permit upgrades > on Sarge? It was deliberate. Packages compiled with libfreetype6 2.0.x do not work reliably with libfreetype 2.1.x. I've rolled back the package version in the sarge/testing section of the mirrors to 1.0.2-1, which used the internal libfreetype in OOo. This bug will be resolved once OOo migrates to sarge; the packagers' time is better spent on other bugs than building/maintaining yet another backport especially for sarge. Chris
