It seems rather irrelevant to me, though. Presumably the config.* files that shipped with the autotools-dev in stable are sufficient to support all architectures that released with stable. As long as that's the case, why should it matter whether the original source package had newer or older versions? If that causes a problem, I suspect a deeper bug elsewhere. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
