Hi,
with the recent upload of libindicate to unstable [1], your package will
fail to build from source
due to the bumped libindicate API (reflected in the pkg-config name).
I am sorry to give such short/late notice, but the release team catched
me pretty unprepared with their "trnaisiton NOW or after wheezy" mail.
(So blame me and give the nice RT guys some beer/coffee ;-))
As your package already has a patch for the last API bump, I just attach
a slightly modified version of it that will work with indicate-0.7. It
should be properly renamed etc :)
As the new library is binary compatible with the old one, your package
does not need a rebuild and should still work and thus does not hold
back the transition. I still would love to see the patch in unstable
soon. For that I plan to prepare a NMU and upload it to DELAYED/5 either
tomorrow or the day after, if there are no objections from your side.
Regards
Evgeni Golov
PS: again, sorry for the short timeframe
