One package didn't install in your daily dist-upgrade ?  Big deal.
This is unstable.  Things break.  Things are fixed.  Btw, the proper
way is to send a bug report; nobody is asked to read debian-devel.
(I would take the blame much easier if it wasn't for your tone,
thanks you, I'm not in the mood.)

Thanks Steve for the NMU.   I have very little time for the moment and
the security issues urged me to upload a new version quicky.  I just
checked the packages installed and ran correctly on my computer;
forgetting about experimental packages I had installed.


Sorry for the inconvenience,
