apt-listchanges depends on python-apt which currently fails on two tests (out of many). It has been discussed before, see e.g. http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2011/01/msg00018.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2011/01/msg00019.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2011/01/msg00022.html and in bug #610448. They are related to file locking in Hurd. Having apt-listchanges installed is a _big_ wishlist for me. Don't know how to make python-apt build without disabling all tests, though. The very best would of course be if the Hurd file locking problem was solved. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
