No. testing doesn't care about Builddeps. and you can safely ignore that messages for sh and hurd-i386... > 2) If (1) is true, how come some packages have unresolved builddeps for > testing and stable?

Maybe some other packagees would break when the new went intop testing ans needs to be recompiled against the new? > 4) What is the best way to find out why cfitsio depends on gcc-3.3?

Because gcc-3.2 depends on gcc-3.3? lobstdc++5 noe comes from gcc-3.3 libgcc1 IIRC from gcc-3.2 So when your package depends on both packages then it depends on both ;) > (As it currently looks, both gcc-3.2 and gcc-3.3 are actually valid candidates both are now in: ene@auric:~$ madison gcc-3.3 -s testing gcc-3.3 | 1:3.3-0pre5 | testing | alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc gcc-3.3 | 1:3.3ds5-0pre5 | testing | source rene@auric:~$ madison gcc-3.2 -s testing gcc-3.2 | 1:3.2.3-0pre9 | testing | alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc gcc-3.2 | 1:3.2.3ds8-0pre9 | testing | source rene@auric:~$ When they are supposed to go in, they only go in after evening's dinstall run.
