I found those issues as well (there are 84 packages failing to build because of that). I discussed this briefly on #debian-x, but it's not clear yet if the X maintainers want to revert this change. I would personally prefer if this change was reverted and done after lenny. We don't really need 84 new RC bugs... -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
