Will ncurses still work when I replace libc5-dev by libc6-dev ? : : No, you need a new ncurses, available in masters' incomming. Ok..

Not all are available, so you will not be able : to compile everything any more. Just bug the maintainers of packags : that don't have libc6 libraries yet. : : Note, however, that due to Guy's vacation, new libc6 compiled : library pacakges (with new names) will not be installed in : "unstable", and can thus only be found in master's incoming. : So, if yoy want to be a "Real Man/Woman", don't track "unstable", : that's for whimps: track master's"incomming" (only available : for maintainers). A co-developer of the Mnemonic Browser Project (hakan), who is a Debian package maintainer too, was willing to download the lib's as far as they were present in master's incoming. I'll play with it tonight. Thanks for your support guys! Remco. -- // Remco van de Meent // email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] // www: http://oloon.student.utwente.nl // " Never make any mistaeks.
