I don't see how a package that suddenly makes others uninstallable is wishlist. > On 01/12/2013 01:27 PM, Salvatore Bonaccorso wrote: > >Please reintroduce the fuse-utils transitional package in unstable > >until the wheezy release happened. > > i disagree. > > this is sid only, there is no need to do anything about it for wheezy.

Well this should not be needed in the first place anyway.

Salvatore seems to have filed some bug reports now, I filed a bug on lintian some weeks ago to report fuse-utils as an obsolete package. The least you could do now is make the fuse package Provide fuse-utils, that would make most of those packages installable again...
