Hello,

I've noticed your recent efforts to readapt "Cinepaint" to the Debian
versions of Linux, and one experimental effort which you made was a
version of 'cinepaint_0.22-3_i386.deb' .

You correctly noticed that the newer versions of Debian no longer
support GTK1, for which reason you compiled these experimental binaries
against GTK2...

But there is another change in Debian, which you may not have noticed so
far, and which prevent me from installing these packages. You depend on
'libopenexr2ldbl'.

In the modern versions of Debian, such as the Lenny build I'm running,
this package no longer exists. It's been dropped a well. Instead, you
must build against 'libopenexr6'.

Our web environment is following a trend according to which nobody is
eager to interact constructively anymore. But I thought that I should
break with this trend and point out this information to you.

Dirk
