Pretty much all of the rebuilds are done, armel is still lagging behind
where gdal hasn't been rebuilt yet for example.
The uninstallable build dependencies should be resolved now, unless you
have one of the problematic packages in the dependency chain like
libdata-alias-perl.
Almost at the same time the transition to PostgreSQL 9.6 has started,
for which all our packages have been updated and those depending on
postgis have been uploaded to experimental. We're mostly waiting for the
final postgis 2.3.0 release before moving postgis, postgis-java &
pgrouting to unstable.
Kind Regards,
