If you checked the reason why this bug was filed, Lucas says: "During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on amd64." > > > Sylvestre > > > PS: I changed the severity to "normal". > > > FYI, grave means: > > > "makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes data > > > loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the accounts of > > > users who use the package." > > > > Thanks for being pedantic without providing any alternate suggestions, > You should relax.
