The problem is that libc5-dev doesn't exist in hamm. Hamm has libc5-altdev instead. This forces people who want to compile libc5 stuff into the altgcc/lib*-altdev mode, requiring the mass removal and installation of a whole set of development packages. I'm against forcing people into that just to install "a couple of packages" from hamm. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
