Hi, The beanstalkd version in testing (1.4.6) is FTBFS (#687402) since libevent was upgraded from 1.4 to 2.0. Meanwhile beanstalkd 1.5 was released and dropped the libevent dependency all together, but didn't make it to testing in time for the freeze because of failing tests (which have been fixed post-freeze). Since upstream has dropped libevent as a dependency, they're not interested in porting beanstalkd 1.4.6 to libevent 2.0, so the release team is called to choose between: - drop beanstalkd in wheezy - grant an exception to unblock beanstalkd 1.7 (1.6 & 1.7 were bug-fixing releases; 1.7-1 is in sid and builds fine on all arches) I understand that there's no excuse for not having seen this coming before the long-announced freeze date, so I won't argue against the first option. Having said that, beanstalkd is a leaf package with a small popcon. Thanks, sez ps.
