Sounds like openct should use virtual/dev-manager vs a hard-coded udev |
| 35 |
dep. But then again there is probably a reason that the dev opted to use |
| 36 |
>=0.96, so you should probably read the ChangeLog and dig around to |
| 37 |
perhaps see why. It could be something as simple/silly as gentoo |
| 38 |
providing an init script to go along with it. |

You should file a bugs for both the libtool problem and the openct |
| 52 |
problem with the respective maintainers. Feel free to CC: embedded@ on |
| 53 |
the bug. |
