That's correct. The more outdated Debian stable becomes many people tend to have half a dozen different backport sources in their sources.list. Imagine there's a different XFree86 4.3 backport with a higher version number where all g++ libraries are compiled correctly with g++ 3.2 (e.g. because this source will give the user a more recent Mozilla) - after a dist-upgrade all packages compiled with your broken backport libraries will stop working. > Ralf cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
