This bug (and 251618) were closed automaticaly, and reopened. There is still some licencing problems with Hugin : Hugin depends on libvigra, which was licenced under a non-free and non-GPL-compatible licence. I worked with Vigra's authors (see my previous mail on bug #251618), Vigra was re-licenced under MIT-X11 licence (wich is free and GPL-compatible), and it is now under Debian. But current stable version of Hugin is still using and old, non-free, highly-patched version of Vigra. The bug was reported upstream (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1434981&group_id=77506&atid=550441), and according to the authors, the CVS version can now be built with a patched version of Vigra 1.4.0, BUT : - if you look at the CVS, you will find the file src/foreign/VIGRA_LICENSE which is still refering to the old, non-free Vigra licence - i prefer not to be obliged to create a package "libvigraimpex2_hugin", or something like that - the patches to make latest Vigra version working with Hugin where sent upstream. So I'm now waiting for : - Vigra's authors to patch the official version of Vigra to makes it working with Hugin - this version to enter Debian - Hugin's CVS to be cleaned. > Now I'm using Christian Marillat package from ftp.nerim.net, and everything > works fine.

I think that it's done :-) -- Florent P.S. : I forward this mail to the bug #251618
