qemu depends on missing openbios-sparc



Hi,

please upload openbios-sparc to bpo since qemu/bpo depends on it, even
if it can be installed from testing.

qemu: Depends: openbios-sparc (>= 1.0~alpha2+20080106) but it is not
installable

openbios-sparc is available in testing.

$ dpkg -s openbios-sparc | grep Conflicts
Conflicts: qemu (<< 0.9.1)

$ apt-cache rdepends qemu
qemu
Reverse Depends:
  qemuctl
  qemu-launcher
 |qemubuilder
  libvirt0
  kvm

...

I used dpkg --force-all -i to install openbios-sparc and then used
apt-get to install the other packages which solved this dependency hell
but I do not think that using bpo should require either knowing and
using dpkg --force-... or alternatively adding testing to the
sources.list and using pinning.

Carsten
