Bug#837741: pithos: Won't start without gir1.2-notify0.7 installed

[D. Jackson Peacock]

Package: pithos
Version: 1.1.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
Recently pithos started hanging on start-up with the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/pithos/pithos/pithos.py", line 1112, in do_command_line
self.do_activate()

  File "/usr/share/pithos/pithos/plugin.py", line 67, in load_plugin
module = __import__('pithos.plugins.'+name)
  File "/usr/share/pithos/pithos/plugins/notify.py", line 24, in

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 102, in 
require_version
raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Notify not available

Installing gir1.2-notify-0.7 solved the problem, however this package is not a
required dependancy of pithos, just a recommended package.

Bug#811039: extremetuxracer:i386 depends on package that does not exist

[D. Jackson Peacock]

Source: extremetuxracer
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When attempting to install extremetuxracer:i386 it failed due to unmet 
dependancies:

$ sudo aptitude install extremetuxracer:i386
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  extremetuxracer:i386{b} libfluidsynth1:i386{a} libmad0:i386{a} 
libmikmod3:i386{a} libopenal1:i386{a} 
  libreadline6:i386{a} libsdl-mixer1.2:i386{a} libtcl8.5:i386{a} 
libvorbisfile3:i386{a} libxmu6:i386{a} 
0 packages upgraded, 10 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 1,879 kB of archives. After unpacking 6,401 kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 extremetuxracer:i386 : Depends: extremetuxracer-data:i386 (>= 0.4-7) which 
is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package.

It's possible that extremetuxracer-data is architecture independent and would
work with the i386 version, making this just an issue with how the dependancies
are specified.

While installing the i386 version on an x86_64 architecture isn't important for
normal use of the game, it is helpful as a test of using fullscreen OpenGL from
an i386 application.
