Yes...but I've often enough had people respond to trouble reports with "upgrade or we don't care" (though generally phrased rather more diplomatically). I've seen at least two packages say things very much like that straight out. (gcc maybe? dhcp? I forget.) In this case, I don't want to waste the list's time babbling about a problem that nobody cares about (most likely because the software in question is too old, but if nobody cares it doesn't much matter why). /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse%rodents-montreal.org@localhost / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
