What about biarch amd64/i386 systems? > It looks like kernel 2.4 will be dropped from etch, so it might be > safe to enable the option on other NPTL-capable architectures. > However, this could make updates from sarge more complicated (a > package which is present in sarge might introduce a dependency on > libdb4.4 on its upgrade, and it will dysfunctional until the system is > rebooted). Then again, applications using TDS (or the Berkeley DB > lock subsystem) are not that common in Debian. We can do this for etch+1. linuxthreads compatibility needs to be retained for etch. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
