It's not clear to me what the correct thing to do is. The package *did* have references to 8.3 until August, when I removed them to fix some piuparts warnings, since 8.3 is not in sid/squeeze. Since it appear that pragmatic fix is indeed to put the 8.3 dep back, I will do that for an upcoming upload. However I would also like to lower the severity of this bug, because it's not actually a but in the RT package at all, just something that needs a workaround, as I understand it. -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
