The whole lib64 business was completly backward from the start. Ping! How can we progress on this bug? We now have bugs #720777, #720778 and #720780 which ask for /usr/lib<qual> to be created if /lib<qual> exists. It's something that can be implemented, but before doing so, I would like to know if a decision has been taken wrt the policy. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
