Please unblock package scim-anthy version 1.2.7-5 It has been reported to us that the configuration setup for scim-anthy crashes for some users (bug 682601 and 680988). This is due to the recent transition in the package from gtk2 to gtk3. We've also included build-flag hardening in this upload.And did so in a sane way; yay. Unblocked.Unfortunately it seems you failed to spot that the maintainers had added a build-dependency on libscim-dev (>= 1.4.14-2) while testing only has version 1.4.13-5. Hence scim-anthy is no longer buildable in testing.
Bah.
It looks like the scim maintainer has attempted to contact the release team several times asking about unblocks for scim but got no response http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=680335
This has already been discussed on IRC, and we're aware of the report; thanks. If you look through the list archives - and indeed the log of that bug - you'll discover that the earlier messages in the bug never made it to debian-release, probably due to the size of the diff. As mentioned in the IRC discussions, the size of that diff is the main issue with unblocking it currently, as it's very difficult to review.
