[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#543448: Reassigning 543448 to lib32asound2-plugins

[Goswin von Brederlow]

Hi,

all lib32* package must be self contained, they can not Build-Depends on
ia32-libs. The packages were specifically split from ia32-libs because
they are Build-Depends of other things and must not suffer the horribly
long update cycles of ia32-libs. I'm not sure is lib32asound2-plugins
falls under that category but you joined the club of building it
natively.

This is further complicated that on ia64, which also has 32bit x86
runtime support, there is no 32bit compiler. All lib32* packages have to
be provided there from ia32-libs-core (ia32-libs in stable). If one of
the lib32* package would depend on ia32-libs that would create a
dependency loop.


It might be best to stop building lib32asound2-plugins and instead
include it in ia32-libs or ia32-libs-gtk. Other than the missing libs I
do see some others that already create a dependency cycle. If so give us
a shout asap so we might still squeeze it into squeeze.

MfG

PS: libgdbm.so.3 was added to ia32-libs already and I've added libwrap0
for the next upload. But I would rather avoid the depends loop.
