Thanks for the testing. You are the first to test it in the current state
from scratch.

The pre-dependency is hard coded into the package, so a recompilation
doesn't fix it. But version 2:2.7.7.0-7 fixes that, so we should build the
new version.

No, it is simply a consequence of building with a broken perl, or so. I am
not sure, but it was fixed by recompiling, and the fixed packages will
enter the archive in 6 hours 30 minutes.

Emacs is there. The hard thing about vim are the build dependencies. Look
at the list and flinch. Well, enough people care about it, or it will be
picked up by the autobuilder.

You've got your priorities right, mmh? :) In fact, you forgot things like
dpkg in your list, but it is also uploaded.

Thank you. Remember that we are still in the transition. We hope to pick
up regular autobuilding soon, and then all those packages will certainly get
build.

You might be interested in the cross-install and native-install files on
alpha.gnu.org in gnu/hurd/debian-staging.
Thanks,
