the fix for #491730 moves the library to a new location. yes, this new location is correct. but the problem with that is that some scripts will still be trying to load it at the old location. uploading this will probably break the (probably modified to account for the incorrect location of xmlsimple) versions of activesupport and rails in Debian, so unless you are coordinating very closely with those maintainers, this new version could cause problems. Also, anybody who is using their own script with xmlsimple will probably be requiring the library at it's old location, so that will cause additional problems for them. The proper way to fix this problem is to include a loading stub, as Adam suggested in the bug report. > The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: > - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libxml-simple-ruby > - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main > contrib non-free > - dget > http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libxml-simple-ruby/libxml-simple-ruby_1.0.11-2.dsc > > I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. > > Kind regards > Deepak Tripathi Thanks, Ryan -- _________________________ Ryan Niebur [EMAIL PROTECTED]
