That's been fixed now. Duly noted, that you consider it ridiculous to file bugreports for packages uninstallable in unstable. > This marks the 3rd ordinary bug you needlessly cc to d-devel. Thanks a lot to the Rust team for fixing a slew of bugreports in the past week.

I am happy for the many "ridiculous" fixes regardless. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
