I package chameleon, and it was created BEFORE imlib-config existed. But yes, as you can see the -lImlib works for me. Would some of you test compiling w/ Imlib and actually using the gfx libs. I have seen it compile OK, but then fail to load png's and jpegs (the two biggest offenders).

I am afraid that every Imlib using app is link w/ -ljpeg. Hence all of GNOME, wmaker-conf, Enlightenment, Eterm, chameleon, perl-imlib, python-imlib, and Fnlib will all break from the 6a->6b change. Tynian is going to begin the 6b move over last I spoke to him. All package maintainers will be gi

I just talked to Shaleh, the previous Imlib maintainer. It was intentional to use libjpegg6a for imlib. 6a and 6b do not play well together. Your NMU breaks every Imlib-using GNOME package out there. Therefore I am overriding it. Please go through the correct channels next time, instead of goi
