apt-cache search .|wc -l 38543 It just depends how the person responsible for packaging a given piece of software relates to the package. The current packaging of xpdf in Ubuntu 12.04 segfaults. In 11.10 it worked, in 11.04 and 10.10 it segfaulted again, with exactly the same symptoms. The fix done in 11.10 would presumably apply quite similarly to 12.04. The difference for 12.04 is labeled as "no-change recompile for libpoppler6". The only user-visible change is that upon opening an xpdf file, xpdf segfaults. Where is the point in such an "update" for the user? Naturally, like with the previous versions, the bug is reported in the Ubuntu tracker and is being ignored. Getting a distribution of LilyPond 2.14 rather than the current 2.16, in comparison, may be labelled a luxurious treatment. The answer in either case is obvious: get somebody who cares about the respective piece of software responsible for it. And the people who care about LilyPond are more likely to be found among LilyPond developers than under Ubuntu maintainers stuck with a wagonload of packages to maintain that they don't use themselves. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
