Comment 11 for bug 273558

nullack,

There are two of us on the X-Plane team here watching this bug. I am one of the "Linux support guys"; I have received no e-mail from you, so I will assume that you talked to Ben, who posted earlier. Ben also knows, though, that there is in fact a problem.

We are actively working to make X-Plane work better under Linux, and so we're following this issue here. If you need support with X-Plane, please send an e-mail to Randy (not to Austin directly), at <email address hidden>; Austin is, in fact, very busy, and not actively engaged with Linux technical support. We'd like to engage our users and the Ubuntu community in making X-Plane a better product, but we can't do that unless issues are filed to us through the correct channels. (I digress, though; the Launchpad bug tracker for Ubuntu also isn't the correct forum for this!)

In any event, I still think that there should be no harm in shipping both versions (libopenal0a and libopenal1) in different packages, just as Ubuntu does for liblua, libqt, and I'm sure countless other libraries.

Thanks,
joshua
