Comment 17 for bug 478219

I completely agree with you Samus Aran. Running old software on linux is a pain. There is no binary compatibility, there is a theorical source compatibility, but it never compile easily. Because a lot of linux geeks forget about the fact that old software can be GOOD software ! Compare it with windows, you run a windows 3x binary and it still just work 95% of the time out of the box. I feed disapointed with debian package management : it's difficult to maintain multiple version of a library installed on the system.
