This should be fixed. Anyone familiar with the changes required, please do so.

Here's the remaining reverse dependencies: Why is it that python seems to blind almost all of its users to anything that is _not_ python? (this is not a snipe, I'm genuinely curious ...) In this case, what you missed appears to be, at least: Reverse Depends: wstools,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.4.1.1 trustedqsl,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.4.1.1 tipptrainer,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.5.1 thuban,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.5.1 survex-aven,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.4.1.1 sooperlooper,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.5.1 python-wxgtk2.4,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.5.1 plucker-desktop,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.5.1 newpki-client,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.4.1.1 libwxgtk2.4-dev,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.5.1 libwxgtk2.4-1-contrib,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.5.1 freqtweak,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.4.1.1 ecosconfig,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.5.1 ctsim,libwxgtk2.4-1 audacity,libwxgtk2.4-1 2.4.5.1 And I personally am not too keen on hounding all those people to deal with the bugs later wx versions may introduce into their apps, on the very eve of a major release -- since it seems fairly clear that is not what they wish to spend their time on at present. If one of our pythonistas would like to bring this package into their brave new world, it would clearly save everyone a lot of pain and disruption, given these packages have mostly been successfully frozen and release ready for longer than the base system has... ;} They are clearly stable, and according to popcon, clearly have plenty of users still. It seems a bit silly to toss out stable software just because we are in the process of making a stable release... best, Ron > thuban > Depends: python-wxgtk2.4 > > python-twisted-core > Suggests: python-wxgtk2.4 | python-wxgtk2.6 > --> Obsolete suggests can be dropped > > python-serial > Suggests: python-wxgtk2.6 | python-wxgtk2.4 | python-wxgtk > --> Obsolete suggests can be dropped > > python-dsv > Suggests: python-wxgtk2.6 | python-wxgtk2.4 > --> Obsolete suggests can be dropped > > pyro-gui > Depends: python-wxgtk2.4 > > openrpg > Depends: python-wxgtk2.6 | python-wxgtk2.4 > --> Obsolete depends can be dropped > > londonlaw > Depends: python-wxgtk2.6 | python-wxgtk2.4 > --> Obsolete depends can be dropped > > gnue-forms > Depends: python-wxgtk2.4 | python-gtk2 > > gnue-designer > Depends: python-wxgtk2.4 > > collatinus > Depends: python-wxgtk2.6 | python-wxgtk2.4 > --> Obsolete depends can be dropped > > bittornado-gui > Suggests: python-wxgtk2.4 > --> Patch already submitted: #391792 > > So we are left with thuban, pyro-gui (work have already been done on > it), gnue-forms and gnue-designer (both currently RC buggy). > > I will try to resolve this issue during the next days. > > Regards, > -- > J?r?my -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
