Hi again, Helmut! :) I just got notified that I'm blind. Found the dependency now, and actually, squeeze package has a lower versioned dependency on sgml-base.
But given that #477751 is tagged squeeze-ignore, I discussed that with release managers and got the information to tag the (thirteen) bugreports with wheezy sid. No need to react to this anymore, thanks. ;) Rhonda * Gerfried Fuchs <rho...@deb.at> [2012-06-15 22:15:18 CEST]: > Dear Helmut! > > You filed this bugreport a while ago, and it is listed as still > outstanding for squeeze, and someone did NMU the package for unstable - > but given your explenation I wonder: would the NMU really have been > needed?
