Bug#774229: nmu: db5.3_5.3.28-7~deb8u1, cyrus-imapd-2.4_2.4.17+caldav~beta10-12
Looks like both src:db5.3 and src:cyrus-imapd-2.4 needs testing-pu.
db5.3 due gcc-defaults, src:cyrus-imapd-2.4 due libical.
I will prepare db5.3_5.3.28-7+deb8u2 and
cyrus-imapd-2.4_2.4.17+caldav~beta10-12+deb8u1 and upload when you ack
it. OK?
Cheers,
Ondrej
