Sorry about that. It's not that the amd64 version is refused to be done, but more like nobody who used the package stepped forward to fix it (just a no-change re-upload, since the tests all pass now anyway). There's a bug on this[1], and I've just uploaded an unchanged package to the maverick-proposed queue. Please subscribe yourself to that bug, and when the package gets approved for the -proposed queue (and subsequently get copied into natty), please verify that it works fine on Maverick so that users may get it via maverick-updates. Thanks for the notifying us about this. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnu-smalltalk/+bug/712296 -- Kind regards, Loong Jin
