yes, but it is impossible to build the packages from the .orig.tar.gz, i just
filled a bug against this. the directory in the tarball is glib-1.1.5, but the
package is named glib1.1.5, so it should be glib1.1.5-1.1.5

that should be it, since i have one of the first base tarball from hartmut. I
think i will have to reinstall everything anew, so i will fix all the stuff,
and also the stuff in /dev, because i forgot to add the p flag to tar ...
