reassign 354206 libmhash-dev 0.9.4a-1
thanks

I think this is actually a bug in libmhash-dev as it should be possible
to print the name (as far as I know). I personally do not understand what
the difference between uint8_t and unsigned char is but obviously it is...

Regards,

// Ola

I just tried again with a freshly updated pbuilder (unstable) i386 chroot and 
got the same error again.  The version of g++-4.0 there is 4.0.2-9, and the 
version of libmhash-dev is 0.9.4a-1.

It looks like it's complaining about assigning the result of 
mhash_get_hash_name, which is of type mutils_word8*, to a char* variable, 
which would involve an implicit conversion.  So it's validly complaining 
about invalid C++ code.  Of course, if mhash_get_hash_name is actually 
supposed to return a user-readable string, it's probably a bug in mhash to 
return the result as a uint8_t* instead of a char*.
