[: Re: Installing Debian Junior PC]
Hi. Just in case people are wondering about the current uninstallable
state of task-junior (and more specifically, junior-arcade), this message
tells why, and what I'm doing about it.
I have just realized, however, that bumprace and madbomber *do* now
depend on the new libsdl-mixer1.2 and libsdl1.2, so I won't have to remove
them from junior-arcade (thanks, Christian). Also, I found this report
against ftp.debian.org:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=101441&repeatmerged=yes
So I guess as it stands, unless you have an out-of-date mirror,
junior-arcade (and thus task-junior) should now be installable.
I have added gemdropx to junior-arcade, another SDL package my kids enjoy.
Look for it in the archives soon. :)

It seems that:
madbomber, circuslinux (and gemdropx which is a nice candidate for Debian
Jr. except for this dependency problem).
Depend on:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/libs/libsdl-mixer1.0.html
As you can see, libsdl-mixer1.0 depends on libsdl1.1 which is
no longer available. I have filed a bug against this package. I will
also remove madbomber and circuslinux from junior-arcade until the problem
is resolved so that task-junior will be installable once again.
Thanks for the report!
