Yah, but libnewt-utf8-pic installs as /usr/lib/libnewt-utf8_pic.a, whereas mklibs.py will be looking for a libnewt_pic.a (since libnewt-utf8's soname is still libnewt.so.0). I'm pretty sure this means that mklibs will give up and just copy the .so over. >Perhaps we need to demand that in fact no libnewt*pic packages are >installed for "heterogenous" i18n builds such as i386 where some >flavors are i18n and some are not.

I guess it depends whether anything except boot-floppies is actually using libnewt-utf8 -- probably not, since any such package would effectively conflict with anything that used the standard libnewt. So long as changing the soname won't break any other packages, I think we could probably do it with relative impunity. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
