I rebuilt Clint's packages (http://people.debian.org/~schizo/debianutils/) and tried installing both in the same dpkg run...which works like a charm. We now seem really ready to go and fix these bugs. Last green lights to get: -shadow 4.0.12-6 in testing -enough tests on 4.0.13-1 just to be sure we don't break too much stuff We have to be aware that shadow 4.0.13-1 and debianutils 2.15 now have to go to testing together...so each of us should be careful not breaking them too much....and avoid uploads until both reach testing.... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
