It used to work with older binutils, then was broken, then was repaired, but the repaired version didn't build everywhere, but we have a version that works for all arches in unstable. > Did the versioned build-depends prevent gnome-games from going into > testing? I'd understand fudging them, then. It did, and it still does, I mailed the relevant buildd maintainers 3 times already, and I give up. I'm not even sure they can reset that state, but they didn't bother replying me one way or the other. > I suspected that the only gain from dropping this information were a > few bytes of debian/control... No, binutils won't migrate to testing anytime soon, and I would like gnome-games to migrate so that people can test it. It's one of the last GNOME 2.10 packages that is blocked in unstable. binutils will enter testing prior to release, but we're far from that. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "What do we want?
