Could you please push those two packages (cln/1.1.6-1 and ginac/1.1.6-1)
into testing ASAP. I have been talking to a number of Debian folks and
nobody has been able to understand what the problem is. If there is a
problem, could you please tell me what it is?! (I hereby admit: I AM TOO
DENSE TO UNDERSTAND UPDATE_OUTPUT.)
Those packages install fine and and fix a number of problems (documented
upstream only). If cln/1.1.6-1 makes the old ginac/1.1.5-1 uninstallable,
so what? There is the new ginac/1.1.6-1! So why the deadlock?
(Also, if cln goes in, then the qalculate-gtk package can follow, too, at
last.)
