for those reading along, the thread is here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl-0105/msg00012.html > unstable; DynaLoader contained non-PIC code. unless i'm mistaken, there's a fundamental conflict here. if the contents of a libfoo.a were created without -fPIC, then any .so created with -lfoo will have REL24 relocations and fail. but debian policy dictates that static libraries be built exactly this way: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s11.2 although upgrading perl avoided the REL24 relocations in one .so, i am now seeing the problem caused by bind-dev. do i send bug reports because this package is adhering to misguided policy? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brad Midgley
