Package: xlibs-static-dev Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 Followup-For: Bug #293881
Hi, For what it's worth, I _cannot_ confirm this bug on powerpc: arcturus[1]:~% md5sum /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config*.a ed5361f71938f122c7105f6438bfbbe1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config.a 8b39c319772106a6085db1b784797c77 /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config_pic.a but I _can_ confirm it on i386: wisteria[5]:~% md5sum /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config*.a 5b4617462ecf1b40b2185bdbf6a8bc86 /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config.a 5b4617462ecf1b40b2185bdbf6a8bc86 /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config_pic.a (all packages are version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10.) My guess is that the _pic.a lib was only actually compiled with -fPIC on arches where it is known that not doing so would cause problems, but it was not realized that amd64 is such an architecture? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xlibs-static-dev depends on: ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Development Librari ii libx11-dev 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext-dev 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxv-dev 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X Window System video extension li ii x-dev 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 X protocol development files ii zlib1g-dev [libz-dev] 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - development -- no debconf information -- Kevin B.
