[cjwatson@debian.org: Suggesting removal of gnome-pilot and friends]
I probably should've cc'ed -gtk-gnome. The theory is that a working
control-center in testing and no gnome-pilot for now is better than a
broken control-center and a probably-working gnome-pilot. I don't know
yet if AJ will agree.
It would be a good idea to freeze control-center and its dependencies
for a few days in unstable so that all this can work.
(Note: this does *not* mean removing gnome-pilot from unstable, nor that
it has no chance of getting into sarge. Don't panic.)

Package: gnome-pilot
Testing: 0.1.64-1
Unstable: 2.0.10-2
Bugs: not-filed
Suggestion: remove-from-testing
Analysis:
gnome-pilot depends on libpisock8 from the current pilot-link. kpilot,
from kdepim, also depends on libpisock8. However, the pilot-link in
testing only has libpisock4. This leads to the very bad situation that
both a big pile of GNOME packages and a big pile of KDE packages have
to be simultaneously ready for testing along with pilot-link in order
for any of them to shift. In particular, the current control-center
could now move into testing were it not that it breaks the testing (but
not unstable) version of gnome-pilot.
.
I suggest temporarily removing gnome-pilot and its few reverse
dependencies from testing in order to break this deadlock.
Package: gnome-pilot-conduits
Testing: 0.8-2.1
Unstable: 2.0.10-2
Bugs: not-filed
Suggestion: remove-from-testing
Analysis:
See above. gnome-pilot-conduits depends on gnome-pilot and libpisock8.
Package: gnome-pim
Testing: 1.4.6-1woody1
Unstable: 1.4.9-2
Bugs: not-filed
Suggestion: remove-from-testing
Analysis:
See above. gnome-pim-conduits depends on gnome-pilot and libpisock8.
Thanks,
