Package: libjfugue-java Version: 4.0.3-2 Severity: important I had jfugue installed earlier, but with 4.0.3-2, it was renamed. However, no conflicts or replaces were added to libjfugue-java, so when I tried to install it, the following happened:
$ sudo aptitude install libjfugue-java Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: libjfugue-java 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B/112 kB of archives.

And FYI, the jfugue package is still part of unstable, even if it's not built from the source anymore: $ apt-cache policy jfugue jfugue: Installed: 4.0.3-1 Candidate: 4.0.3-1 Version table: *** 4.0.3-1 0 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status You might wish to request its removal. -- |8] __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
