I do all my work on Debian Slink i386, but just made a potato
install on Alpha. To my surprise, some of my packages are broken
wrt the /usr/share issue on alpha. Note that these are packages
that I haven't upgraded yet wrt this issue, and so they are
stated in the control file to be compliant to

Hi,
I intent to orphan bvi and penguineyes. I will orphan bvi, because I
don't use it much anymore and penugineyes will get orphaned, because I
gave gnome I try, but I don't like it much and so I want to remove it,
which makes packaging penguineyes a bit hard. If somebody wants to take

RE: potato upgrade killed libc5
I ran an apt-get upgrade over the past weekend. That and/or an upgrade
to new 2.2.12 kernel seems to have killed all my old binaries depending
on libc5.
Mostly the affected files amount to cruft. There is(was) a commercial
xvscan with scanner support that died.

Yes, and it's now fixed with ldso 1.9.11-3, which should be propagating around
the mirrors right now - if it isn't already. It's on ftp.debian.org atm.

Hi.
I plan to package libcorba-orbit-perl and libgnome-gnorba-perl:
these modules allow to use the Orbit ORB within perl and the
gnorba activation features.
liberror-perl is required by the above modules and so I'll package it
as well.
