package 0.13 should be compatible with 0.12 or should has name 1.* anyway - in 99.99% times ln -s libintl.so.X libintl.so.Y where Y is required number works :) > > For a user like myself, this is no problem.

Why hasn't it been fixed? war requires 2 sides to fight. simplest way to avoid is ignore them. no one forces linux user to go to FreeBSD or otherBSD. 2 years ago mostly because linux started "the only right" solution and to be "better than windows" i switched to NetBSD. and found that this said to be worse *BSD are actually better. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
