#677959 - mediatomb: fails to build against current version of

I have several question about this error:
By the way: the above is not an error.
I see that:
**********************************************************************
****** Exiting with an error in order to stop the installation. ******

Although the error comes from apt-listbugs, the result is that the install
fails,
If you don't know what to do with that information, just uninstall
apt-listbugs.
I forced the install by commenting out(temporarily), in the config file,
the line
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10";};
What you did was to disable apt-listbugs without removing it completely.
This does nothing to solve the bug that apt-listbugs showed to you. It
just prevented the bugreport from being shown during installation.
It's exactly what I wanted to do, in order to complete the install.
Do you see an other way to achieve this result?
Now, reading the man, I found a better way, using the variable
APT_LISTBUGS_FRONTEND, which can easily be set or unset with a 5 lines
script.
Of course, it would be easier to have a prompt from apt-get itself,
to ignore or not the apt-listbugs result(to be put in a wish list?)
4/ more generally, I had recently a lot of such apt-listbugs errors when
trying to install packages. This seems surprizing for a distro
released about 6 monts ago.
You might be even more surprised about the number of release-critical
bugs in stable. :)

thank you for this useful link.
how come mediatomb is not listed here. It should be in category:
"Number that have a fix prepared and waiting to upload:"
