gcj-4.3, ecj, and gcc-defaults were all ready to transition last night, so a
hint was added to push them in.
Then a new version of gcj-4.3 was reuploaded without coordinating with the
release team.
We are trying to force gcj-4.3 through despite now being out of date on most
architectures; that will finally unblock openoffice.org, which is one of the
packages that has to go in together with icu.
With luck this will all be done by the next dinstall; with less luck it will
be done by the next normal britney run; with /typicall release team luck
someone will do an unannounced 0-day NMU openoffice.org and we'll be waiting
for another month.
But yes, I've adjusted the state on the icu security bug so that it doesn't
block things; so hopefully we can get this all cleared up in the next day or
two, and then you (and the boost maintainers as well) can get back to
ordinary bugfixing.
Thanks,
