The sole fact that you wrote this make it clear that you don't understand how transitions works and what they are for. Stuff was available in experimental but KDE stuff didn't actually needed to be compiled against experimental's Qt. And let's not forget that in the meantime we ended preparing the packages in experimental and got the slot for the transition both gcc and cmake changed bringing up new bugs. So please Eric, try to avoid this comments, you are both misleading users and showing that you really don't understand what's going on. > Seamlessly, kde 5.37 is currently landing in experimental but is also > currently uninstallable for the very same root reason. Again, wrong. 5.37 stuff is in hold there due to various packages being in the NEW queue waiting for a FTP master to review them. Once they pass that queue the maintainer needs to check that everything is OK and then push it to unstable, as long as something doe snot requires a transition too. Again please refrain to make this comments in the future. -- My favourite poem is the one that starts 'Thirty days hath September' because it actually tells you something. -- Groucho Marx Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer http://perezmeyer.com.ar/ http://perezmeyer.blogspot.com/
