The python-apt transition is not urgent, and as I wrote, should be done after the Python transitions, so let's block it by the python-defaults transition. And having more time for python-apt 0.8's multi-arch stuff may be a good idea as well, we're still missing a few properties here and there.
Of course, if you want to do this transition first, change the blocking direction. > Packages remaining to be fixed/affected by this transition: > - python-debian (needs update) Fixed > - debdelta (leaf package) > - dogtail (leaf package, removefromtesting) > - computer-janitor (leaf package, removefromtesting) No status change > - software-properties (needs update) Fixed There's also a new bug with update-notifier, although I haven't reported it yet. update-notifier currently does not byte-compile it's python script or use python in its build, so it's not part of the python transition, and can be updated while the transition is undergoing. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
