For users running unstable, this isn't much a problem (for something that isn't a library): the dependencies are often already in unstable, installing such a package won't probably trash the system, and it is easy to downgrade to unstable. However, IIRC, not all architectures are supported, and my machine here is PowerPC-based. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
