Bug#173471: O: svgalib -- Console SVGA display libraries
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Version: N/A (date: 2002-12-17)
I've already orphaned svgalib in February, but it seems something bad
happened. The two last uploads were QA uploads as well.
!!! PLEASE DO NOT adopt this package before you have asked !!!
!!! Dennis L. Cark for permission to do so, or, if you are him !!!
