Package: libsasl2-3 Version: 2.1.26 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
libsasl2-3 is uninstallable. After noticing some errors on running 'aptitude -t experimental upgrade' I ran 'aptitude -f install' to find these errors:- <quote> The following NEW packages will be installed: libsasl2-3{a} The following partially installed packages will be configured: libsasl2-modules 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/121 kB of archives. After unpacking 241 kB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] (Reading database ... 162676 files and directories currently installed.)

I upgrade (experimental), as frequently as twice a week. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.10-rc5-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
