Why > does updating swt-gtk make swingwt uninstallable on arm? Because unless otherwise hinted by the release team, source packages are considered for testing one at a time, and the binary package names for swt-gtk changed from libswt-gtk3* to libswt-gtk-3.1*. So updating swt-gtk removes the library that swingwt depends on. > To aggravate the matter, swingwt is failing to build on three architectures: > alpha: unmet dependencies: libswt-gtk-3.1 (= 3.0+3.1M4-5) > hppa: gcj 4.0.1 ICE (internal compiler error) > sparc: unmet dependencies: libswt-gtk-3.1 (= 3.1-1) > Both alpha and sparc have now built libswt-gtk-3.1 (= 3.1-2), so those > two unmet dependencies errors should go away I hope. They probably will, but there's not much sense in having them retry the build unless hppa is also fixed, since you would just need to make another upload for hppa.
