Well it might go back to "working" when the ia32-libs transition completes. Might be a few days or weeks to do all that thought. Looks like a lot of work. Or stick with libc and ia32-libs from testing for a while. Or you could just say no to vendor lockin and crappy network protocols. That's been my solution. :) -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
