I see some of the failing packages have in the log: -> Finished parsing the build-deps Wrong version of OCaml! That does that mean the package couldn't be built because of the dependency problems you mention? My only concern here is that with 41 failing packages, the transition may take quite a while to finish, blocking other stuff. That'd be different if most of those packages will just build fine after the binNMUs, but I have no idea if that's the case... I do wonder how many of those are actual failures, of those, how many are maintained by the ocaml team and how many are not... BTW if you have filed bugs for the failing packages, please make them block this tracking bug.
