The ftp team have now removed the NBS/uninstallable binaries for various
gjs-dependent things from armel.
If I'm reading the excuses correctly, we now have 3 packages waiting for
each other in a cycle:
* gdm3 migrates after gjs and gnome-shell;
* gjs is blocked by gnome-shell;
* gnome-shell is blocked by gdm3
Please could the release team try hinting those three to go together as
a group, if that would help?
One thing that might be breaking this (although I don't see any obvious
references to it in britney's log) is that the ftp team removed all of the
binary packages from src:gdm3, not just gdm3.deb itself as I requested
(the naming convention for removal bugs unfortunately does not distinguish
between removing gdm3.deb, and removing all binaries from src:gdm3).
This means gir1.2-gdm-1.0, libgdm-dev and libgdm1 are missing from
armel in unstable, which makes gnome-flashback, gnome-initial-setup and
gnome-panel uninstallable on armel if I'm reading correctly. This will
correct itself automatically with the next upload or binNMU of src:gdm3.
For the moment I'm intentionally not touching gdm3 to avoid resetting
the migration clock, but if a no-changes upload would be helpful, we
can do one any time.
Or, if it would be helpful to binNMU gdm3 on armel, I believe the release
team could schedule that at any time.
Thanks,
