Ah, but it looks dreadful if you use the latest elinks. This FTBFS will go away when elinks 0.10.4-3 reaches "testing"... but your patch means that there's going to be a bug raised because it will then FTBFS into a nice-looking text file. Filing an FTBFS on an "architecture: all" package that contains only a plain text file, and then doing a zero-day NMU within 48 hours is not a nice thing to do. It's not that important a package to warrant such urgency. The correct long-term fix for this bug is to build-depend on the right version of elinks (which ought to enter testing in a few days). If elinks 0.10.4 doesn't enter testing, your NMU package will be the one in sarge. -- Paul Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
