Wait a second, how can you think it's "just fine" having #495350 in the wild? And I have at least two more non-BTS-logged reports of the same problem (*). The problem is not nice, apt just appears to go nuts which is not something an end user should have to deal with. So no, sorry, Lenny version is NOT fine and I hopped you would thrust my judgement in the upstream role here. And I wonder how can using a more stable Beta version (in Sid) be more wise then an early Alpha version (in Lenny ATM)... And mean "less risk" for a package without dependent packages. And sorry for going ad hominem but that's just like a slap in my face. Regards, Eduard.
