How long did you wait? James is a very busy guy with a lot of responsibilities. He'll get to you eventually. You should file a bug report on the package if it's out of date. It doesn't look like you've done that yet. > The source package, presumably because it's an uncommonly used > version of gdbm, contains the source to 1.8.0 which can be used during the > build process. What do you think I should do in this situation? Build your own packages for your own use if you can and just wait for James to take care of it. Eric
