There's something broken in the design of Debian's migration to testing. A grave bug in the testing version of module-init-tools (3.12~pre2-1) was fixed several weeks ago, and the package was uploaded with urgency=high:
module-init-tools (3.12~pre2-2) unstable; urgency=high * Fixed an init scripts dependency loop introduced in -1. (Closes: #574535) -- Marco d'Itri <m...@linux.it> Mon, 22 Mar 2010 12:21:18 +0100 but it hasn't migrated to testing yet! The reason is a build failure on HPPA: https://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=hppa&pkg=module-init-tools&ver=3.12~pre2-2 Isn't it unacceptable that a problem on some platform blocks a fix for a grave bug? Is there a risk that such a broken package gets into squeeze? Due to this problem, this is the current candidate for squeeze: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/module-init-tools says: module-init-tools (3.12~pre2-1) The grave bug is detected by apt-listbugs. Otherwise, as the bug was fixed (in unstable), it isn't immediately visible on the various web pages. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
