I think my lack of familiarity with backports has muddied the waters. I didn't try apt-get -t wheezy-backports install libcurl4-openssl-dev although I did look at wheezy-backports on the packages page at the web site. Not finding it there lead me to believe there was bug. There isn't. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
