that sounds like the kind of thing that would cause nightmare circular build dependencies for anyone porting to a new architecture [which i'm considering doing: mvp from icubecorp]. would that be correct - that if there *is* no "older version" it would now be impossible to build both [or either] of the packages - or am i mistaken? if it is correct, do you happen to know if they would cross-build, at all? l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
