It looks like this is the case, I had hoped that the incompatibilities were minor enough that it would be possible to add any missing APIs back in where necessary. I had prepared an upload that fixed the s/Lookup_Size/LookupSize/ issue, but I was not aware of the Mozilla problems. I think the best thing to do is add a freetype2.1.7 source package that builds libfreetype6 with an epoch and coordinate with upstream the change to the soname - the next release looks like it is meant to break the ABI (more than normal that is). Does that sound reasonable? I'd rather not epoch the package but I don't see any other choice here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
