Hi Serge and Al, Serge uploaded netcf to SID after the freeze, on the 2012-08-07, which is more than one month after Debian Wheezy was frozen. Why did you do that? Can't you just use Experimental? That's best practice, IMO.
I wouldn't recommend to upload a new version to SID after the freeze at all, especially for a shared library, but this would have been acceptable if Al's upload from yesterday (November 18th, according to the PTS) completely broke broke libvirt in SID: zigo@node ~$ sudo apt-get install libvirt0 libvirt-bin libnetcf1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libnetcf1 : Conflicts: libvirt0 (<= 0.10.1-2~) but 0.9.12-5 is to be installed SID, indeed, has version 0.9.12-5 of libvirt. And not even Experimental has a libvirt version that could satisfy this dependency. So we have libvirt0 that depends on libnetcf1, but libnetcf1 conflicting with any libvirt0 that we have in SID / experimental. That doesn't look like a library transition that has been coordinated with the release team! Please fix the situation (eg: revert to version 0.2.0 if you need, the Conflict: with libvirt0 is unacceptable), and *please* coordinate such upload with the release team in the future.
