Hi all, My package of vegastrike is stuck in the autobuilders. The problem lies in its build-dep on libpng-dev. It needs to use version 3 of the lib. I read all of the recent discussions on -devel about this issue but seem to have missed the bottom line. How do I remedy this?
Do I just email the admins asking them to install it? or is it more complicated because of the complicated history of libpng? thanks, -m here is the build log: Automatic build of vegastrike_0.2.9.2-4 on cyberhq by sbuild/i386 1.169 Build started at 20020729-1443 ****************************************************************************** Checking available source versions...
