libgtkada2's upstream includes a copy of gtk+extra2; I don't know how up to date this bundled version is. That's why, for the last uploads, I've built libgtkada2 against the packaged gtk+extra instead of the bundled copy. It is quite easy for me to revert that, so please do not ask for removal of libgtkada2 just yet. -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
