Package: googleearth-package
Version: 0.5.7
Severity: serious

As the produced packages are not usable on amd64 and the package
seems to be buggy in general, I'm filing this as RC bug as I don't
think it should be part of the next release in the current state.

-- System Information:
Debian Release: squeeze/sid
APT prefers unstable
APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental')
Architecture: amd64 (x86_64)

Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash

Bernd,

What exactly seems to be a problem? I'm maintaining this package on
amd64 architecture and everything seems to be working fine.

Hi,

would you please not close bugs which obviously exist.

bzed@think ~% sudo dpkg -i googleearth_5.1.3533.1731+0.5.7-1_amd64.deb

As the created dependency does not exist, this is a RC bug.

This bug was reported several times, you should take such things more serious.

Could be because Bernd has nvidia's libGL installed, and that has a
broken shlibs file?
