While working on getting Perl into shape it was noticed some packages were becoming uninstallable, while they were not. This led to a bug fix about uninstallability computation. I suspect the opposite might have been true (consdering packages installable while they were becoming uninstallable). http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=mirror/britney2.git;a=commitdiff;h=ef456597971acacc9c38c48e49ca7829614f5440 I don't know britney enough to be sure so I can only guess the above. Hopefully someone with more expertise (Adam, Niels?) will confirm/infirm as appropriate. Mraw, KiBi.
