It would be nice if either #766884 could be fixed, allowing the new version to migrate to testing, or if #765722 could be fixed some other way. Any fix would imply a rebuild, which would fix this issue automatically. > The least-intrusive fix for this that I am aware of is: > nmu libxml2_2.9.1+dfsg1-4 . amd64 armel armhf i386 kfreebsd-amd64 > kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc . -m "Rebuild for multiarch sync" > then > nmu libxml2_2.9.1+dfsg1-4 . amd64 armel armhf i386 kfreebsd-amd64 > kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc ppc64el s390x . -m "Rebuild for multiarch > sync" I guess you mean nmu 2 libxml2_2.9.1+dfsg1-4 . amd64 armel armhf i386 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc ppc64el s390x . jessie . -m "Rebuild for multiarch sync" - there is no need to rebuild twice, you can specify the binnmu version - you are asking for a rebuild in jessie I'm not scheduling these now, as it would be nice to know the status of the RC issues in libxml2 first.
