Bug#264043: tetex-bin: Please resolve this NOW
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.2-17
Followup-For: Bug #264043
Hi,
tetex-bin 2.0.2-17 broke jadetex and it sounds like you are going to
revert that breakage in the next upload, right?
If you do then hurry up please. jadetex being broken causes a lot of
packages to fail to build from source, wastes precious time on the
buildds for failures and holds up sarge since packages can't be
compiled.
If you are not going to revert what broke jadetex you need to add a
Conflicts: jadetex (<= 3.13-1), jadetex (3.13-2)
or just (since the NMU was very short lived anyway)
Conflicts: jadetex (<= 3.13-2)
If so please also do so NOW.
Updating tetex-bin has to force an update of jadetex to a version
compatible with tetex-bin. For a new jadetex to Depend on a new
tetex-bin is not enough.
MfG
Goswin
PS: Sorry for pushing but this is creating a large ripple effect.
