I do understand - and agree that it sounds most sane to abandon python-id3lib. It seems only pytone, quodlibet and rbscrobbler rdepends on python-id3lib.

I have now cloned this bugreport to the relevant packages. - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nÃr: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCdgnfn7DbMsAkQLgRAnwSAKCl0lIRBI+7wSzLu415x1g/0Y5YKACffi48 fNopRIGnFU/HESUqCjapvHg= =cpGk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
