Please check your package with pbuilder before you upload and ask for sponsoring. What you really need is libreadline-gplv2-dev, not libreadline5-dev (gone from archive), nor libreadline6-dev (license issue). Again, please check your package is buildable with pbuilder/cowbuilder or even in a plain sid chroot. As the package's maintainer, it's your responsibility to make sure all of the problems do not exist before you ask for sponsorship. Please make sure you have read and understand what I've written, if you have questions just ask back and I'll try to help. I'll be happy to sponsor your package when you have made it fit. -- Regards, Aron Xu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
