It appears that qalculate-gtk also needs to be upgraded: the version of
the qalculate binary package in testing depended on libcln2, while the
new version depends on libcln3. Soname changes require this kind of
manual attention sometimes. The reason this doesn't show up in
update_output is slightly unfortunate: for performance reasons, the
testing script only shows problems on the first architecture in
alphabetical order, and qalculate was only in testing for i386 and ia64,
unlike ginac which was in testing for alpha.
A new version of qalculate-gtk appears to have just been uploaded, so,
as they say, there will be "a short delay". I suggest not uploading cln
or ginac in the meantime if you can avoid it.
