Re: Pidgin uninstallable

[Gerfried Fuchs <rhonda@deb.at>]

	Hi there!

 First of all, right ahead: SORRY for this serious mistake of mine.
Somehow I puzzled my chroots in which I did build the package and thus
didn't notice the new build-dependency through that which is
unsatisfyable for backports. In the events of that I left the digital
world for a vacation and just returned to find out about this..

 I'm terribly sorry and will try to get that fixed soonish.

 ... it's just in the wrong tracker, as you were told there already. :)

 Superseeded - but didn't remove it from the pool.

 There is no need to re-upload the old pidgin-data version to the pool
because it *is* there!
http://www.backports.org/backports.org/pool/main/p/pidgin/pidgin-data_2.5.9-1~bpo50+1_all.deb
... and on all its mirrors. It's just not in the Packages files anymore
because they only pick up the latest version.

 Again, big big sorry for that mistake and I'll let you know when I have
fixed things.

 So long!
