It is a bit annoying that one must include einfo in the elogs in order to catch messages like the one below. Shouldn't this be ewarn's?

pkg_postinst() {
    [...]
    einfo "PLEASE PLEASE take note of this"
    einfo "Please make *sure* to run revdep-rebuild now"
    einfo "Certain things on your system may have linked against a"
    einfo "different version of com_err -- those things need to be"
    einfo "recompiled.  Sorry for the inconvenience"
    [...]
}

I'd also love to see this showm when it's actually relevant, b/c for most people it's irrelevant left-over from previous version.

thanks, moved to ewarn

Jakub: as i told you on irc already, it has *nothing* to do with previous versions of com_err
