Hi Sergei,
This points to a sourceful bug in either libsdl-erlang or in erlang. Rebuilding libsdl-erlang on mips in unstable does *not* fix the problem that all of the libsdl-erlang binaries in *stable* were built against an earlier erlang, and have a dependency on erlang-base (>= 1:11.b.1-1) | erlang-base-hipe (>= 1:11.b.1-1). If erlang versions are not backwards-compatible, then there needs to be proper handling of such transitions in the erlang packages -- preferably by providing erlang packages (virtual or real) with an "abiname" that packages such as libsdl-erlang can depend on in the manner of shared libraries.
Thanks for the idea about virtual package. We'll adopt it in the next erlang package version.
There seems to already be some measure of support for this in the form of 'erlang-depends', so once erlang itself is fixed, binNMUs for libsdl-erlang are certainly an option; but I'm not going to schedule a binNMU that effectively paints over this issue.
OK. I got it. -- Sergei Golovan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
