Since nearly over a year now the gnu-smalltalk is broken on Ubuntu (since

now to dual-boot with a GenToo to develop with GST since Ubuntu only has the
i368 version but not the amd64 version.
Why exactly is there no amd64 version since over a year whereas GenToo has an
amd64 version and it works splendid? Is it because of this one test case which
fails in the build logs?
111: DBD-MySQL skipped
(testsuite.at:149)
116: GDBM FAILED (testsuite.at:154)
ERROR: 125 tests were run,
1 failed unexpectedly.
1 test was skipped.
A skipped test is nothing special and GDBM failing the test by itself also
nothing special (it's under "other package"). Is it not possible to do something
about this? It's quite a nuisance to dual-boot just because an amd64 version is
refused to be done.

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.

I would do so but unfortunately my launchpad account there is broken. I
can't log in anymore and it seems not fixable so can't help with
anything involving launchpad. Besides I'm afraid you would have to guide
me there with this proposed queue and testing stuff. I'm used to create
and work with ebuilds but with Ubuntu I have no clue.
