I can install wajig fine on my sid box. I have not upgraded to apt 0.7.8
from 0.7.6 yet, as aptitude has not been updated to handle the new
version. Python-apt, which wajig depends on, has not yet been updated
either. However, it sounds like this happened before the latest apt update?
Was your wajig actually removed or is it just not possible to upgrade it?
If the latter, does it show a broken state if you try to upgrade or does it
show <none> as the next available version?
Cheers,
Kelly
