CinePaint removed from testing
Hi. I'm the CinePaint project leader. I got a note from Daniel James at
64Studio that CinePaint has been removed from Debian. I tried contacting
Debian maintainer Andrew Lau by email, but got no reply.
Daniel pointed me toward the Debian bug report, see below. I don't know
what it means. What's the problem? What needs to be done?
Thank you!
Robin

Subject: cinepaint: not binNMU-safe, misuse of ${Source-Version}
Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2007 16:53:37 -0700
Package: cinepaint
Version: 0.20-1-1.3
Severity: grave
Tags: sid
cinepaint is uninstallable in unstable because a binNMU was needed for the
openexr library transition, but cinepaint is not binNMU-safe. The package
has the following dependency line in debian/control:
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, cinepaint-data (= ${Source-Version})
${Source-Version} should of course not be used for dependencies of arch: any
packages against arch: all packages; this should be ${source:Version}
instead.
