And after all, it was not coordinated. I have contacted Laszlo, one of the freerdp maintainters. AFAIK he started looking into the issue thus the NMU should wait for a few days IMO. Cheers, Balint

Let's wait until these are sorted out. I've now sent a minimal patch for freerdp to #788557. Maybe you feel like NMUing? I'm tempted to just ignore the vtk6 transition and request the removal of libav once freerdp is fixed, since there is no progress with that transition. And after all, it was not coordinated.

Unfortunately this transition is currently blocked by two packages: * freerdp needs a new upstream version, but the maintainers are unresponsive. (#788557) * vtk6 still has old binaries using Libav in testing, because the uncoordinated vtk6.1 -> vtk6.2 transition broke some of its reverese dependencies. (#793621) Help with any of these would be much appreciated. If you just want to file a removal bug: I think the libpostproc source package can go already. ;) Best regards, Andreas
Bug#795718: Don't include libav in stretch
Source: libav Severity: serious It was decided to switch to ffmpeg for stretch and it's now in testing. Please remove libav from testing (or rather from unstable unless someone wants to continue to maintain it in unstable/experimental only) Cheers, Moritz
