It appears that the maintainer of modutils set the priority of bug 114186 from grave to important, so the uninstallable modutils 2.4.10-3 made it into testing.
Isn't a bug that makes a package uninstallable supposed to be given a higher priority that will prevent it from going into testing? Fortunatly I had a copy of 2.4.8-1 to install, which fixed the problem. Without it I may have been left with an unusable system. (The bug seems to have been reported multiple times on multiple kernels.) -- Blars Blarson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blars.org/blars.html "Text is a way we cheat time." -- Patrick Nielsen Hayden
