Package: git-annex Version: 5.20140919 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I am currently unable to start the git annex assistant due to: $ git annex assistant --autostart git-annex autostart in /home/ianc/Desktop/annex (merging refs/synced/1167ef76-4791-11e2-9bfe-4319f44b8a5f/aWFuLmphbWVzLmNhbXBiZWxsQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ==/git-annex refs/synced/54f6febc-4791-11e2-952f-13bd7a1c79f1/aWFuLmphbWVzLmNhbXBiZWxsQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ==/git-annex into git-annex...)

However looking at the package list helpfully added by reportug below I was inspired to also upgrade git which fixed the issue. So I think a versioned depends is needed on a git which is new enough to support that option.
