I agree, but gtk-d does build reliably in a clean build environment. https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=gtk-d (we're ignoring the armel & arm64 failures for now.) > I have a system with packages from stable and testing and apt-get complains > about broken packages. Yes, that is unsupported. Please use either stable or testing but not both in the same system. > I realized that this second issue is easy to fix.
