Well, I'm currently working on it and have to say, that it might need some time. Because we are already in some freeze stage, the libexpat- transition will very probaly happen after Lenny is released.
For your problem: Isn't it possible to fix the broken programs [1] instead to reintroduce this very old compatibility symlink? [1] Fixing means a) binNMU official packages (quick and dirty without a clean transition) and/or b) enforce fixing of the broken 3rd party packages by not providing the symlink. You will have to do the latter in every case, because I *will* drop this symlink definitly. Could someone please invite Matthias Klose to this discussion? -- libexpat1 does not contain libexpat.so.0 in 8.04 Beta https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
