I did not do that. And I stated very clearly that I didn't. You asked, and I replied: > > did you block it locally somehow? > Nope. I had no idea this stealth-mandatory change was being forced. stop twisting my words to avoid fixing your bug. I said that I probably *would* (note: future tense, an indication of intent) do something to block usrmerge on my systems somehow. And I also said that it wasn't necessary to do so because your package was broken. I then gave another example of the problem occuring on a minimalist standard sid VM. Stop closing this bug without fixing it. It is breaking upgrades and dist-upgrades etc.
