Hello Michael, FYI, for Babel and Hypre (559834 and 559843), I noticed before uploading that the fixed ltdl.c and .h weren't automatically included. For that reason, babel uses libtoolize --force, and I verified that the new sources were there in the build tree. For hypre I had to actually copy in ltdl.c and .h to the build tree in debian/rules, because it doesn't use a standard autoconf system.
Rest assured both bugs are thoroughly dead in unstable. I'll open new bugs for stable and oldstable. BTW, on mips (and no other platform) something is wrong causing babel to FTBFS: it reports a version mismatch between libtool 2.2.6a-4 and LT_INIT from 2.2.6b. Are libtool and libltdl-dev out of sync on mips (or were they two days ago)? Thanks for following up on this. -Adam On Sat, 2009-12-12 at 18:07 -0500, Michael Gilbert wrote: > Hi all, > > It has come to my attention that a lot of maintainers are simply adding > a build-depends on libltdl3-dev to try to solve this problem.
