Hi,

Ok, for a small transition like this, it will not be an issue. But for
large transitions, this can complicate matters.

Excellent. :)

It found the reverse dependency, so it should be good enough. :)

There is a first for every one. :) Fortunately, it is a rather minor
transition, so it will be easy to keep track of.

Ok. If everything goes well, you will only need to upload flint and we
will handle the rebuild of singular.

The plan from here.
* I will check up on if we can schedule flint now. 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.
Thanks,
~Niels
