2014-02-21 13:59:06 This update has been submitted for testing by dtardo
2014-02-22 09:35:15 will be pushed to the stable updates repository

this is *unacceptable* in case of broken deps and buildroot overrides
while this is not a secuity update and people are pushing such things
to stable refuse to understand the the dependecy error may result in
*not get whatever SECURITY UPDATE* for ordinary users for no gain

and no "you have to apologize" from the maintainer does change that

if the maintainers would run a baisc virtual machine consuming
ordinary repos without manual overrides such mistakes would be
recognized by them..............
