3 bugs - 1 grave, 2 serious - in 3 packages. Holds up 182 packages total, with no end in sight, according to the bug reports.
And one of the packages being held up is a new kernel version! How can a bug in another package hold up upgrading the kernel?
So, is there any way to upgrade some, or any of the packages being held up? Even just the kernel?
At this rate, the soon there will be so many packages backed up that the upgrade mechanism will choke, requiring a fresh install.
