I understand "normal Sid churn" but these have been broken for a couple
of weeks.
Are they not really "broken", just (e.g.) being replaced by something
else with a different name?
Anybody know what magic is required to fix this?
Not these in particular, but you do have answers for them. It's worth
looking around a bit when this happens, sometimes it *is* because of a
restructuring, and you need to delete an existing package or two to
break the logjam.
By the time this becomes an annoyance, there will usually be bug reports
and other discussions, and you can find out what's going on. A current
sid irritation is 25 packages (on my particular system) that won't go
because some xorg stuff was uploaded to sid by mistake, and a major
revision is actually due soon. That stuff will just sit there until it
happens. I also have lynx and tex issues, but they started in the last
day or two and I'm not bothered about them yet.
