This build failure was the intentional result of the -7 upload, and there is nothing wrong with contrib packages that build-depend on non-free packages. Alain, I'll approve -8 for sarge, but it's much less work for you in the long term if you don't have to re-upload gsnes9x's source every time snes9x-x adds/removes an architecture to its own port list. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
