For some reason it's not in testing at the moment (console-common actually just replaces some old versions of console-tools): console-tools | 1:0.2.3-10.3 | stable | alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc, source console-tools | 1:0.2.3-16 | unstable | ia64 console-tools | 1:0.2.3-21 | unstable | mips console-tools | 1:0.2.3-22 | unstable | alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc, source There isn't anything the maintainer can do about this except wait for a few days and see what the testing scripts do, so I'd say there isn't much point in filing a bug report. You could try grabbing it from unstable if it's urgent. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
