The renaming meant that sawfish (in unstable) was considered a new package, so the fact that sawmill was in stable didn't help it. sawfish is a GNOME package and so depends on the entire world, so hang on a second while I unravel what's going on ... sawfish is more or less waiting on two things: gnome-libs, and librep/rep-gtk. I think that the rep stuff mostly just needs a manual nudge, but it's hard to tell for sure; the new gnome-libs appears to make libgal-dev uninstallable for some reason, God knows what (although I have a few ideas). GNOME-related things are almost impossible to get into testing sometimes. :( Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
