[...] Hello, In the latest upload to experimental (-3 which is the NEW queue) I have synced with Ubuntu. They also install everything to /lib (since Nov. 2008 afaict from the changelog) with one exception: The la file stays in /usr/lib and gets a symlink in /lib. (I think the rationale is to not break existing la files that list /usr/lib/libgcrypt.la in deplibs.) cu andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
