fyi, yesterday I updated the list from Joss, see http://people.debian.org/~joss/python-list.txt (link does not work), see http://people.debian.org/~doko/python-list.txt instead. > Buggy packages > ============== > > * garchiver: #210828 > > * gimp-python: #207304 automake problem, which it seems I failed to fix. but one of it's build-dep's is listed as: -gimp1.2 (1.2.3-2.4 to -) * Maintainer: Ben Gertzfield * Valid candidate so probably, it doesn't make sense to move it to testing, if gimp1.2 is removed. > * python-imaging: #212853, blocks forg, sketch I'll do an NMU now. > * python-gnome is lacking a mips build for some reason.

I'll do another upload of the python2.3 and python2.2 packages to properly compile with -mieee on alpha and fix wrong recommends in python2.3. should be quickly built ... Matthias
