If so, the severity of this bug can be downgraded to important.
This doesn't seem to be the case here; this package fails to build for me 12 times in a row. Updating the package to 1.24 (which looks like it would be a worthwhile update anyway) doesn't change anything. And I've just re-verified that the package does build on wheezy. This is currenly keeping sympa out of testing. Cheers, Dominic. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
