It is broken already. One of python-xmpp updates broke it and it went into testing before anyone noticed. That's the reason why python-xmpp in unstable have that changed dependency in the first place. Since then I didn't manage to get fixed version of jabber-irc into archive until relatively recently.
There are several options now: 0) Doing nothing now means that: i) jabber-irc will stay both old AND broken ii) python-xmpp will stay old. And I think that there are two better ways: A) let jabber-irc go into testing. That lets both packages to update AND it makes jabber-irc usable again. B) remove jabber-irc from testing. That will let python-xmpp update. So I ask you to consider once again if way (A) or way (B) is any better than way (0). -- Sincerely yours Alexey Nezhdanov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
