Thanks for this report, Ansgar. This clearly sums up the issue. I am amazed the whole archive managed to be rebuilt on such a short time! I guess the next step is to file the multiple bugs pending to be filed. > Bug reports were already submitted for over half the packages, often > including a simple patch (usually something like adding BASH=/bin/bash > to dh_auto_configure). > > So we look to be on a good track to address the remaining issues. ...And I guess this points towards the Technical Committee not having to intervene in the issue. Which is, IMO, the best possible outcome. Thanks to everybody following through with this!
