I've uploaded a new version to mentors, which patches the upstream build system to use valac-0.12 as the executable name. Not very pretty, but since we depend on the versioned package anyway, the version can always be changed in both places. 11.07.2011 00:25, Michael Tautschnig wrote: > I'm afrai

I am hoping to understand the "obsolete" flag on conffiles in the dpkg status file. There are many packages that include this flag at the end of the line. For example: Package: file Conffiles: /etc/magic.mime 272913026300e7ae9b5e2d51f138e674 obsolete /etc/magic 272913026300e7ae9b5e2d51f138e674
