When using testing/unstable please check the BTS, i.e. see
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=327190>.

You can force installation via some options to dpkg, but it's still a

Thanks very much for the messages. What do I do now? Should I simply wait for the bug-fix, or can I remove a small subset of packages? It seems that evince depends on  libdjvulibre15, and gnome-desktop-environment depends on evince. Do we all go back to stable?
