Thank you for mailing this before any damage has been done; the NMU is now removed from the DELAYED queue (I double-checked policy section 7, but overread the Pre-Depends has-to-be-discussed statement in 3.5, so this was really an error I made). > For my part, I think a Pre-Depends here is crude and inappropriate, as other As I wrote in the changelog: it is a work-around and not a real fix. > comments in the log suggest to me that this is a remediable bug in > cedet-common's startup code; but I haven't dug into it far enough to say for > sure. The proposed work-around in the BTS was submitted by me in october (after building a package using Pre-Depends locally and using it since then for our local batch installations). There was no response from the maintainer, and after mailing him via PM I did the NMU to the 7-days-delayed queue (which, I repeat, is now removed). -- c u henning
