Package: seaview Version: 0.0-6 Severity: normal Your package uses the older version 0.88 of XForms. I asked the XForms mailing list if we should consider 0.89 as the stable version and got this answer from Steve Lamont:
: That's a good question and one that I can't answer definitively. 0.88 : should be considered obsolete and deprecated. It contains numerous bugs. Combine this with these facts: - The binary builds of 0.88 are very old. The m68k and sparc builds are even glibc2.0-based. - No new arch (e.g. ia64) will get a 0.88 build. As the Debian maintainer of the XForms, I'm asking you to build against version 0.89 (e.g. build-depend on libforms-dev) unless you have a very compelling reason. At some point, possibly before the release of woody, I will ask the archive maintainer to _remove_ the libforms0.88 packages. Thanks, Peter
