There are some gcc libraries above flint that have not been checked yet. * After that I will follow up with an "Good ahead" or a "Please wait for X". * Once you get a "Good ahead", please arrange for flint to be uploaded to unstable. * Notify us once it has built on all architectures in unstable. - Should there be complications (e.g. unexpected build failures), please resolve them (and let us know if it will take a while). * We will then schedule binNMUs for the reverse dependency. * After a few days flint and the rebuilt singular should migrate to testing. * Once libflint-2.4.5 has left testing, the transition is over and we will close this bug.
