I assume #576496 is one of them: maybe those bugs should be made blocking for this bug... I think the severity of this bug should be raised above the RC threshold, so that it can prevent the migration of ruby1.8/1.8.7.249-3 to testing, until the problem is properly fixed in all reverse dependencies. I am doing so with the present message: please keep the severity high, or otherwise the issue will propagate to testing: there are packages which are already uninstallable in unstable (for instance: apt-listbugs) due to this issue, I would like to avoid uninstallable packages in Debian testing! -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/progs/scripts/pdebuild-hooks.html Need some pdebuild hook scripts? .....................................................
