no gnome-terminal in testing
Hi all,
there is a problem in testing right now : there is no gnome-terminal
available. This is not very dangerous in itself, except if you (as me)
have also unstable lines in sources.list (with defaults to testing) :
apt will then silently install gnome-terminal and its dependencies
from unstable. Which is gnome2's terminal !!!
Testing users can then find themselves with no configuration for
gnome-terminal, and gnome2 libraries are on the system (opening the
door to silent *upgrades* to other gnome2 packages)
This has already bitten users (and not only unstable users), as
http://bugs.debian.org/153682 can attest.
Cheers,
