Well, there's nothing left in unstable depending on the -3 one, but at the same time it's FTBFSing against the new exiv2, so I was thinking that iff its final destination is to get removed, I'd do the exiv2 transition without a recompiled libkexiv2 (which is possible since no package depends on both libexiv and libkexiv). If its final destination is not RM, then the FTBFS has to be fixed before exiv2/KDE4 can go forward.

Right, but when eg libkexiv2-7 gets bumped to libkexiv2-8, what are you going to do with the development package name? One would want to be able to schedule Bin-NMUs, etc. Cheers, -- - Are you sure we're good? - Always. -- Rory and Lorelai _______________________________________________ pkg-kde-extras mailing list pkg-kde-extras@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-extras
