This is wrong, whether or not packages are in testing does not matter. See [1], the testing propagation scripts only check whether all binary packages for release-architectures in unstable are in sync with the latest source in unstable. So an obsolete (old) binary package in sid will always prevent propagation (unless it's hurd or sh). --Jeroen [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2004/09/msg00002.html -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
