Hello! I decided to jump into unstable to see the status of the time_t transition. There is currently an issue that seems to have not made any progress in the last few upload cycles. Specifically, some of the t64 renames are being reverted by several packages (e.g. util-linux), leaving *versioned* dependencies on the t64 libraries unsatisfiable. This breaks transitioned packages.
There's a similar issue with versioned dependencies by un-transitioned packages have on non-t64 libraries (e.g., libqt5sql5). The end result is that unstable totally broken right now, doubly so if you're using kde/qt5 (I am holding packages in older versions in aptitude right now). My questions are: 1. Is the time_t transition team aware of these issues? 2. Where should these kinds of bugs be reported? I feel like reporting to individual packages might get lost, and also these may represent less package-specific issues. Best, Antonio Russo
