That makes no sense. (Except when he subsqeuently also got told to
use --with-system-cppunit).

I didn't do the patch (pmladek did) but I didn't bother either to point
you to it (and I know the statement you cite below). Why?

libcppunit-dev |   1.12.1-1 |        stable | alpha, amd64, arm, armel, h=
ppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

Debian lenny was released almost 1.5 years ago. Not counting the freeze b=
efore
that. So anything shipping 1.12.0 didn't get updated in 1.5 years.

(Which wonders me: Andreas has gcc 4.5(!) but that ancient cppunit. Sound=
s like
a broken distro to me. Most uptodate gcc but ancient other stuff...)
