Package: gmime2.1 Version: 2.1.15-1 Severity: serious Tags: sid Justification: fails to build from source
The most recent version of gmime2.1 fails to build on all architectures
except for i386 and powerpc, due to the addition of various mono-related
build-dependencies:
[...]
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
cli-common: Depends: mono-utils but it is not going to be installed or
cil-disassembler but it is not installable
gtk-sharp: Depends: gtk-sharp-examples but it is not going to be installed

et al.
I think the mono build-dependencies are not needed for all architectures,
only for those architectures for which the libgmime2.1-cil package will be
provided. In contrast, libgmime2.1 and libgmime2.1-dev *are* needed on all
architectures, because there are existing packages which depend on them.
Please make the build-dependencies on cli-common, mono-mcs, mono-gac, and
gtk-sharp conditional by architecture.
Thanks,
