Is there any reason not to provide a _pic variant for all of these? In 4.3, all static libraries with no corresponding shared version are built with PIC anyway, and the xlibs-pic package no longer exists. However, a change like this would probably be too intrusive to bother with in 4.3. Xinerama isn't *desperately* needed. -- Daniel Stone <dstone@trinity.unimelb.edu.au> Developer, Trinity College, University of Melbourne
