Then a new version of gcj-4.3 was reuploaded without coordinating with the release team. We are trying to force gcj-4.3 through despite now being out of date on most architectures; that will finally unblock openoffice.org, which is one of the packages that has to go in together with icu. With luck this will all be done by the next dinstall; with less luck it will be done by the next normal britney run; with /typicall release team luck someone will do an unannounced 0-day NMU openoffice.org and we'll be waiting for another month. But yes, I've adjusted the state on the icu security bug so that it doesn't block things; so hopefully we can get this all cleared up in the next day or two, and then you (and the boost maintainers as well) can get back to ordinary bugfixing.
