This is not true. Please read my reply to Jakob Bohm. > [...] > > Making gettext build depend on Java and binary depend on Java > libraries causes the gettext package to now conflict with > mandatory local policies. gettext upgrades are now on hold. I have received two complains so far about the dependency of gettext on libgcj. I've explained the situation to them and I think they have understood the reasons for the dependency. However, you are the first person to complain about *build-depends*. If your local policies are incompatible with the current build-depends, I would strongly suggest that you change your local policies, as I plan to add support for C# in a near future, which means a build-dependency on pnet. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
