Bug#685478: unblock: gcc-mingw-w64/8
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Dear release team,
Please unblock package gcc-mingw-w64; the version in unstable fixes a
release-critical bug causing /usr/share/doc/gcc-mingw-w64 to be empty
when upgrading from versions before it became a symlink.
The package is over ten days old but hasn't build on kfreebsd-amd64 or
mips yet; I've asked for a giveback on the former (the build failure
is due to #637236 on gcc-4.6; repeating the build produces a correct
build eventually) and pinged the buildd admins concerning the latter.
The debdiff is as follows:
