Re: [PATCH 0/2] PSPP shared library refinements

[John Darrington]

Now that I look closer, I do see the problem.

This is a pspp problem, not a debian one.

I'll try to fix it at the week-end.

     I never noticed it, as i rarely use PSPP atm and i already got a present
     "psppirerc". As i am more a packager and much less a developer i can't
     easyly follow you diagnosting advice. But since it's not a new Ubuntu
     issue i may ask, if you've ever noticed such a behaviour on your own
     systems?
