Generally, I recommend people running debian testing to have both testing and unstable in their sources.list, and pin apt to testing. In this particular case: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ grep-excuses nexuiz grep-excuses nexuiz nexuiz (2.2.3-1 to 2.3-1) Maintainer: Debian Games Team 13 days old (needed 10 days) out of date on sparc: nexuiz, nexuiz-server (from 2.2.3-1) Not considered Depends: nexuiz curl Both packages have been uploaded at the same time, and I could not forsee that it has still not been built and uploaded on sparc on time. I think to avoid this situation in the future the correct way was to use a versioned "Breaks" field on nexuiz-data: Breaks: nexuiz (<< 2.3) apt now has support for breaks, dpkg will get it on the next upload I think, I'm not sure if britney needs to be extended for this as well. CC'ing debian-{games,[EMAIL PROTECTED] for comments if I'm right here. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4
