Yes. Generally, I recommend people running debian testing to have both
testing and unstable in their sources.list, and pin apt to testing. In
this particular case:
siretart@hermes:~ $ grep-excuses nexuiz
grep-excuses nexuiz
nexuiz (2.2.3-1 to 2.3-1)
Maintainer: Debian Games Team
13 days old (needed 10 days)
out of date on sparc: nexuiz, nexuiz-server (from 2.2.3-1)
Not considered
Depends: nexuiz curl
Both packages have been uploaded at the same time, and I could not
forsee that it has still not been built and uploaded on sparc on time. I
think to avoid this situation in the future the correct way was to use
a versioned "Breaks" field on nexuiz-data:
Breaks: nexuiz (<< 2.3)
apt now has support for breaks, dpkg will get it on the next upload I
think, I'm not sure if britney needs to be extended for this as well.
CC'ing debian-{games,devel}@l.d.o for comments if I'm right here.
