Bug#907042: opam 1.2.0 is deprecated (jessie)



Package: opam
Version: 1.2.0-1+deb8u1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Tags: jessie

Dear Maintainer,

On jessie, opam 1.2.0 is packaged but it is officially deprecated since
a year [1][2].

It makes opam unusable for jessie users: already initialised ones can't
install new compilers nor update packages, and with a fresh install opam
is almost unusable (e.g. [3]).

The solution is to upgrade the opam package to 1.2.2.

Note: I talked with a maintainer who advised me to set severity to
grave.
