Well I like sid, but am not used to Package gpe-contacts has broken dep on libgpevtype0 Try to Re-Instate gpe-contacts lasting for days into weeks. Goswin's post implied that such problems should only last a day or two. How is it that such problems are allowed to persist for days into weeks? Isn't there a feedback mechanism to prevent developers making the archive "unstable" permanently unknowingly? A couple of days isn't so bad, but apparently users often have to remind developers what mess apt-get shows they have turned their dependencies into otherwise they are oblivious? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
