Package: libmapnik0.7 Severity: important The current Version of Mapnik in Debian (squeeze and sid) has been linked against the AGG library provided by the system.
Looks like this library (2.5.x) is more or less unmaintained. For this reason mapnik provides a custom Version of the AGG library which fixes the bugs which causes mapnik to hang. The discussion about this topic can be found here: http://www.mail-archive.com/mapnik-us...@lists.berlios.de/msg02953.html I know that the debian policy is to always use external libraries, but this renders the provided package more or less unusable. Unfortunately I don't have patches for AGG to fix this without breaking the debian policy. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35.4-robert-you-suck+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
