I bet that if it's linked against libsdl1.1 it won't in fact work against libsdl1.2, even if the source code can be recompiled to work with libsdl1.2. Trust dpkg-shlibdeps ... libsdl1.1 isn't in unstable any more. I'd guess that your best course of action is to build-depend on libsdl1.2-dev and make sure your package is linked against that. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
