Thanks for the suggestion, Brian. I'll do that today.
As the priority of mime-support is "standard" and therefore higher than the
one of xpdf ("extra"), I'll add a "Depends: mime-support". If anybody has a
problem with that, mail me soon, or file a bug report later ...

What version(s) of slang-lib have you installed? Do a dpkg -l '*slang'
please. Then I can see if it's library-related, which seems to be the most
likely cause.

The following patch fixes the problem of integer wrap around that
occurs for >=2Gb disks (i.e. sbuf.f_blocks * sbuf.f_bsize > 2^31).
This is accomplished by computing the intermediate values in floating
point.

Regarding make/gnu-make: It seems there is some resistance to any change

that having an alternative make is not worthwhile. Thus I am not planning

Due to that silly naming of the pre-0.10 versions the latest upload was
overwritten. I reuploades it. However, dpkg will tell you that you
downgrade. Don't worry about it. lyx_0.10.0-1 is the actual version.

Hi,
ist it possile that on a fresh new install gcc is installed before binutils
is installed, and therefore fail to configure? If I run configure afterwards
everything is fine. Will dpkg install a package first if it sees that other
ones depend on it?
