NFS Servers, deadlocks and symlinks

I'll start with the question(s) for the impatient. Is anyone experiencing deadlocks between nfs-kernel-server and ext3? How about symlink errors using nfs-user-server? There is nothing in the debian bugs database about either of these problems. Nor is there anything about the ext3 deadlock in g

re vlc

Branden, Nevermind. I just heard back from Samuel Hocevar and he is aware of the problem and will fix it in the next build. I got thrown for a loop because there was a crashing bug not fixed in vlc until 0.2.92-7 (which isn't in sid ppc yet) and local builds were failing (because of xlibs-pics

vlc, sdl and xlibs-pic conflict

Branden, I guess I'm just a tad thick here but I don't understand the rational for the following conflict. My debian ppc sid machine is current for all the packages in sid and has xlibs-pic installed as well. I discovered that when I tried to do... apt-get -b source vlc for the latest vlc-0.2
