Package: nvi Version: 1.79-26 Severity: important The vi clone "nvi" never used to depend on libdb at all. Now upgrading to 1.81.6-3 would suddenly require libdb4.2, while the "current" versions of libdb in unstable are libdb4.6 and libdb4.7. Versions 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 were obsoleted years ago.
This has the ugly smell of a security problem to my nose, so I'm holding the package back until I find out why a very minimal text editor needs to depend on libdb at all, and why it is depending on such an old version of it. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages nvi depends on: ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.6+20080621-2 shared libraries for terminal hand nvi recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
