Package: taxbird
Version: 0.18-1~bpo60+2
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable
Hi,
the 0.16 version of the package can only do tax declarations for 2011,
and is thus entirely useless for anyone who wants to use it for taxes
in 2012. I think it would be a shame if Wheezy would release with a
package that is so useless right from the start. Please consider
grabbing my version from p.d.o (see #663656), or see me NMU it at the
latest at freeze time.
Kind regards,
--Toni++

Ok, thanks. As long as the bug is not fixed in the version in wheezy,
it will block the release. Closing it actually helps because it lets
the release team know that there is a fixed version.
At [1] I see that the updated package is missing binaries on some
architectures:
out of date on i386: taxbird (from 0.16-0.2)
out of date on armel: taxbird (from 0.16-0.2)
out of date on armhf: taxbird (from 0.16-0.2)
out of date on powerpc: taxbird (from 0.16-0.2)
out of date on sparc: taxbird (from 0.16-0.2)
At [2] we see the underlying problem --- the package fails to build
from source:
http://bugs.debian.org/656505
Once an upload fixes that bug and the autobuilders have had time to
build it, the package would presumably migrate to wheezy. Perhaps you
know someone who could upload the fix from
http://stuff.der-marv.de/debian/taxbird/0.18-2/
?
Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
