Dear Ubuntu Core Developers, in my application (guymager) I use some libparted functions. In order ro avoid dependency problems in my Debian package, I statically use libparted.a in my application. This works without problems on Debian Etch, but on Ubuntu 8.10 I get the following errors while linking: g++ -Wl,--no-undefined -ggdb -rdynamic -o guymager compileinfo.o config.o device.o dlgabort.o
