Let's take a look at all current Packages files: - The buildd Packages file, as seen by *all* the buildds, not only the i386 one: kroeckx@grieg:~$ zcat /org/wanna-build/tmp/archive/debian/buildd-sid/Packages.gz | grep-dctrl -F Package mlton -s Package,version,Architecture Package: mlton-basis version: 20100608-3 Architecture: all Package: mlton-compiler version: 20100608-3 Architecture: i386 Package: mlton version: 20100608-3 Architecture: all Package: mlton-tools version: 20100608-3 Architecture: i386 Package: mlton-runtime-native version: 20100608-3 Architecture: i386 Package: mlton-runtime-i486-linux-gnu version: 20100608-3 Architecture: i386 Package: mlton-doc version: 20100608-3 Architecture: all The i386 unstable one: kroeckx@grieg:~$ zcat /org/wanna-build/tmp/archive/debian/archive/sid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz | grep-dctrl -F Package mlton -s Package,version,Architecture Package: mlton-basis version: 20100608-3 Architecture: all Package: mlton-compiler version: 20100608-3 Architecture: i386 Package: mlton-doc version: 20100608-3 Architecture: all Package: mlton-runtime-i486-linux-gnu version: 20100608-3 Architecture: i386 [...] The amd64 one: kroeckx@grieg:~$ zcat /org/wanna-build/tmp/archive/debian/archive/sid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | grep-dctrl -F Package mlton -s Package,version,Architecture Package: mlton version: 20100608-2 Architecture: amd64 Note that in unstable you don't see the arch arch all version until the arch any version is also available. Or you would see the old arch all version until the new arch any version is available. This means that the version from unstable should always be installable, unless there is some other reason it's not like a transition of some other library. The problem is that the buildds currently also see the newer arch all version. But this version will go away after some time and it will only see the version from unstable. > The basis, runtime, and compiler packages should all be at the same version > to compile correctly.

The new version of mlton-basis will only be visible to the buildds for about a day, after which they should have no problem building it.
