What does everyone think? I guess that it would have helped me quite a lot to know that this bug had a reply and it was now ignored for quite a month, but it seems that the reply above was not sent to the BTS and only to the mailing list: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-cyrus-sasl2-debian-devel/2010-October/001957.html >> So, it appears that there are some other possibilities, thanks to a >> posting by Luca Capello [0]. Is there any reason why you did not Cc: me? I was wondering if this bug was forgot, given that I did not receive any update on it (and no, going to the BTS or subscribing to *every* bug someone is interacting with it is not an acceptable solution). >> The first possibility is trivial, but is not as "correct."

I am not a library expert, but you cannot install both libraries together: ===== luca@gismo:~$ apt-cache show libsasl2-modules-gssapi-mit | grep Conflicts Conflicts: libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal luca@gismo:~$ ===== So, if you want to debug the GSSAPI Heimdal library you need cyrus-sasl2-heimdal-dbg and, I guess, at the same time libsasl2-modules-gssapi-heimdal. Given that the latter conflicts with the former, it seems clear that the correct approach is the second option I proposed. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
