Re: [Gcl-devel] The package operation ... was in a bad place

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!

May I suggest you consider using the current cvs head sources, in
Debian package format at

http://packages.debian.org/sid/gclcvs

This and many other such issues have been resolved there.  Just
uploaded package -81 last night.

If problems persist, please post your source file.

What is clgtk, and how did it get into the gcl sources?

Take care,
