I was just checking in on my packages, it seems that pd-hid is caught in
unstable for 75 days, but I can't figure out what the issue is. The
error message is "Adding pd-hid makes 1 non-depending packages
uninstallable on kfreebsd-amd64: pd-hid "
http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=pd-hid;expand=1
But what is that 1 non-depending package? Is it 'puredata (<<0.43)'?
Other packages with that same Build-Depends are already in testing.
The package is listed as pd-hid itself ... apparently it is not installable on
kfreebsd-amd64, that is what is keeping it out of testing
That's odd, because buildd seems to show it as installed on kFreeBSD:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=pd-hid
It says that moving pd-hid to testing prevents pd-hid from installing on
testing in kfreebsd-amd64 [and maybe more architectures, only the first found
is listed].
Since it IS installed on sid, is there something missing from testing, but
present in sid, that pd-hid needs before it can be installed? something that
is not listed as a dependency, but should be?

pd-hid was written in 2004-2005 and uses the Linux input.h. It's had bug fixes
since then, but no major changes. I can't imagine what pd-hid would need that
wouldn't be in oldstable, or sarge even. Any ideas on how I can find details on
what the issue is?
I don't think testing has everything that is in stable - a combination of sid
and testing together probably would have all that pd-hid needs, but maybe
something hasn't migrated from sid yet --- maybe something to do with serial, or
usb or something. Since it builds in sid, whatever is the missing dependency
will presumably get migrated eventually.
Could you try building on a pure, minimal 'testing' system that has as little as
possible already installed and see what pd-hid is missing there?
