Uninstallable packages testing/sarge
Hello,
If a package is uninstallable on testing, is it appropriate
to file a bug report against it, even though it might be OK
on unstable?
If a bug report is filled, then people can become aware of the
problem, preferably before sarge is released..
On the other hand, it could irritate the maintainer who can't
do anything about it, perhaps because the problem is fixed
in unstable.
Examples:
gnome-desktop-data (conflicts against the old version of gnome-core in
testing).
kde: depends on broken packages:
kfind: conflicts with old kdebase-libs in testing
etc... (total 21 packages marked as broken in aptitude when selecting
kde)
