Hi release team,
here is the list of packages which are not binNMUable right away:
bogofilter: unrelated-FTBFS (#660717) (test suite failure, so it compiles fine)
ggcov: unrelated-FTBFS (#669099) (test suite failure, so it compiles fine)
gridengine: PATCH-NEEDED (but compiles ok when patched)
libreoffice: CHECK-NEEDED (but it's so huge and there was no problem before)
lusca: unrelated-FTBFS (#669110)
memcachedb: UPSTREAM-FIX-NEEDED (repmgr_set_local_site/repmgr_add_remote_site)
openldap: MANUAL-UPDATE, PATCH-NEEDED
postler: PATCH-NEEDED (but compiles ok when patched)
python2.6: N/A (going away)
python2.7: MANUAL-UPDATE, PATCH-NEEDED
python3.2: MANUAL-UPDATE, PATCH-NEEDED
python-bsddb3: UPSTREAM-UPDATE-NEEDED (but compiles nice when updated)
sendmail: MAINTAINER-MIA, PATCH-NEEDED (maintainer MIA for a long
time, but when patched it compiles)
spamprobe: PATCH-NEEDED
subversion: RC-BUGGY (#621460) (maintainer ignored the previous call
to transition to db5.1)
xastir: unrelated-FTBFS (libgeotiff-dev: libtiff4-dev vs libtiff5-dev)
The rest (83 packages) are either binNMUable or the dependency on
libdb-dev is not used.
The only real obstacle is python, but since it started using db5.1, I
think it won't be a big problem (like bumping from 4.8 to 5.1).
>From here, I think db5.3 is ready to go into unstable.
