Unfortunatly vlc build-depends on iceape-dev (>= 1.1.9-4). Any ideas
how to get a current vlc on mips*? (Perhaps we have a trivial
one-liner fix - in case that's true, we should upload the fix.)

That looks good to me. We tried:

which at least brought us via the critical path at well (I canot check
the outcoming though right now).


Please upload any of the fixes (and if you have done so, please tell
me so that I can prioritize that on at least one of the mips buildds).


Thanks for your support.
