The version in experimental works around this problem (by linking everything to the next best file instead), but still displays a warning. It seems I forgot to mention this in the changelog. This means that you should only see the warning *once*. What I might want to do is to not show EMLINK errors if another file can be linked to. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
