That version is broken, the reason I left debian for gentoo was the poor ada support. (Old unmaintained packages, gcc-3 instead of gnat etc). But lets not turn this into a flamewar, I will not continue the discussion. But for anyone interested in ada I'm just asking that you have a look at what gentoo will provide you with in a week or two before deciding which distribution suits you best. //David Holm
