This works because so far, none of the packages rebuild against libgpg-error0 *use* libgpg-error0 -- it is a spurious dependency. Jose is right that the packages which currently are blocked by the new libgpg-error0 in unstable should be uploaded with a fixed libtool; but he is wrong if he thinks this excuses introducing such major changes while we are preparing for a release. Jose, please re-upload libgpg-error 0.7 with either an epoch or a "1.0-really-0.7" version as Goswin has suggested. Or, if you don't have time for this, please indicate which of these you prefer and I'll NMU according to your wishes. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
