And reopened. You have *not* addressed the issues contributing to this RC bug: - freecdb provides no shared library or static _pic library suitable for linking into other shared libraries, which is something we generally expect from library packages - the only thing that sucks more than static-only libs for security support of a library is *bundled* static-only libs - the author (and current maintainer) of freecdb says that this cdb implementation should be considered dead 1) and 2) suck, but it's 3) that makes this a serious bug AFAICT; you can address 3) by becoming the new maintainer, of course, but in that case I would expect that you would actually, er, *maintain* it, for instance by providing a _pic.a library instead of dismissing the bug as a "problem in vpopmail's packaging". -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
