Package: libffi4 Version: 4.3.0-3 Followup-For: Bug #479115 hi
the original submitter of this bug marked it as wontfix. But I think that this bug should be addressed somehow. There are 25 packages that directly rdepend on libffi4, and removing libffi4 has a huge usability impact on a 'unstable' install ... thru all dependencies, you have to uninstall almost all of gnome. I see two solutions to this lock. 1) Upload a new, separate version of libffi4 that would not depend on gcc-4.3-base (= 4.3.0-3) 2) BINNMU of all above 25 packages. In this latter case, you must be sure that all bbuildds are running 4.3.0-4 - when I uploaded mplayer on2008-05-03, this was not the case yet. IN particular, I am worried: maybe there is some rdependecy that is stopping bbuildd's from upgrading to 4.3.0-4 ; in that case, the only way to solve this lock is (1). a. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libffi4 depends on: ii gcc-4.3-base 4.3.0-3 The GNU Compiler Collection (base ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries libffi4 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Andrea Mennucc "E' un mondo difficile.
