... they don't end up in the actual Packages files because of daks "new" super-duper logic of holding back _all packages unless their any counterarts are built. As was just discussed on #debian-ftp 21:43 < _rene_> can some ftp-person shed some light on why, though openoffice.org-* 3.3.0-3 is in the archive, it doesn't appear in Packages file (clean sid chroot doesn't see it?) 21:44 < _rene_> maybe because there's the old ones taking precedence? 21:44 < _rene_> (they are arch-dep, while the new ones are all arch-indep -> transitional packages) 21:45 < _rene_> which then results in e.g. #612807 21:47 < Ganneff> could it be that you converted it all to arch:all? 21:49 < _rene_> yep 21:49 < _rene_> all packages 21:49 < _rene_> (and I dropped some which don't need transitional packages) 21:52 < Ganneff> twerner: is that a case touched by the changes from last essen, where newer arch all will be hold back due to "missing" arch any? ie need to remove older arch any here 21:53 < _rene_> ah, that would make sense, yes. 21:53 < _rene_> like when you upload package X which has _all packages and X isn't yet built. 21:54 < _rene_> that would also explain the britney symptoms... 21:59 < _rene_> should I file a RM or will you do it? 21:59 < Ganneff> you could file one [...] 22:07 < _rene_> twerner: filed a bug [...] 22:11 < _rene_> twerner: 612813 Grüße/Regards, René -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
