Package: ekiga Version: 3.2.5-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package uninstallable
The maintainer (i386) upload of Ekiga depends on libpt2.6.4, but the first official i386 binaries for libpt2.6.4 have not yet left the buildd that produced them (which is bug #537320). I can only conclude that the maintainer of Ekiga compiled the uploaded i386 binaries against packages other than those shipped by Debian. That does not seem like a good thing for the stability of the distribution, to say the least (and seems like a Policy ยง2.2.1 violation). Please do not upload packages built against packages not supported by Debian, unless you're going to upload the dependency packages yourself, before the dependent package (i.e. making them official, by uploading them and taking responsibility for that upload). In the short term, this also makes ekiga uninstallable on i386. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ekiga depends on: ii evolution-data-server 2.26.3-1 evolution database backend server ii gconf2 2.26.2-2 GNOME configuration database syste ii libatk1.0-0 1.26.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libavahi-client3 0.6.25-1 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.25-1 Avahi common library ii libavahi-glib1 0.6.25-1 Avahi glib integration library ii libc6 2.9-21 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.80-4 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libebook1.2-9 2.26.3-1 Client library for evolution addre ii libedataserver1.2-11 2.26.3-1 Utility library for evolution data ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-1 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.26.2-2 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.16.5-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.15-1.1 OpenLDAP libraries ii libnotify1 [libnotify1-gt 0.4.5-1 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libopal3.6.1 3.6.1~dfsg-1 Open Phone Abstraction Library - s ii libpango1.0-0 1.24.5-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpt2.6.1 2.6.1-2 Portable Tools Library ii libpt2.6.1-plugins-alsa 2.6.1-2 PTLib audio plugin for the ALSA In ii libpt2.6.1-plugins-oss 2.6.1-2 PTLib audio plugin for the OSS Int ii libpt2.6.1-plugins-v4l2 2.6.1-2 Portable Tools Library video plugi ii libsasl2-2 2.1.23.dfsg1-1 Cyrus SASL - authentication abstra ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.18-2 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.2.2-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxml2 2.7.3.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii libxv1 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Video extension library Versions of packages ekiga recommends: ii gvfs 1.2.3-1+b1 userspace virtual filesystem - ser ii yelp 2.26.0-2 Help browser for GNOME Versions of packages ekiga suggests: pn asterisk <none> (no description available) pn callweaver <none> (no description available) pn gnugk <none> (no description available) pn mediaproxy <none> (no description available) pn openser <none> (no description available) pn rtpproxy <none> (no description available) pn ser <none> (no description available) pn siproxd <none> (no description available) pn yate <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
