Something like $ dget http://$h/debian/pool/main/c/calibre/calibre_0.8.51+dfsg-1.dsc $ dget http://$h/debian/pool/main/c/calibre/calibre_0.8.64+dfsg-1.dsc $ debdiff calibre_0.8.51+dfsg-1.dsc calibre_0.8.64+dfsg-1.dsc \ > calibre.debdiff would have done. Anyway, in the particular case I have already requested the maintainers doing this as a t-p-u (i.e. "testing-proposed-updates"), so we don't need the above mentioned debdiff in this case. :) > unblock calibre/0.8.51+dfsg-1 > > [...] > For the next time, please use the version number of the package you want unblocked rather than the one in testing. I have requested the bug title being renamed accordingly. :) ~Niels [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2012/09/msg00047.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
