Dear Helmut! You filed this bugreport a while ago, and it is listed as still outstanding for squeeze, and someone did NMU the package for unstable - but given your explenation I wonder: would the NMU really have been needed? Is this actually affecting squeeze?
For your convenience, I keep your full report in so you don't have to look it up yourself. The part I'm refering to is: | Any binary package using the dh_installcatalogs helper will add a versioned | dependency on sgml-base. There is no dependency on sgml-base AT ALL, not in squeeze, not in wheezy (which still has the old version) and not in unstable. Can you please elaborate again? Thanks!
