What britney's highlighting in the excuses is that dak is still
including the arch:all packages from the old version of the ovito source
package in the arm{el,hf} packages files, including the ovito-examples
package which was dropped in the later upload. ovito-doc is also being
included, but isn't an issue as it's still being built from the latest
version of the source; dak is therefore including both versions in the
packages files and britney simply ignores the older version
This happens because there are no longer any architecture-specific
packages built from ovito on those architectures but something else is
keeping the old source package in the archive; in this case:
ovito | 0.9.5-4 | unstable | sparc
I believe the remaining action in this case is to ask ftp-master to also
remove the old sparc binaries; I've CCed them, in case I've missed
something or any part of the above explanation is incorrect.
