Package: libsvn-notify-perl Followup-For: Bug #336786 "SVN::Notify 2.58 requires Net::SMTP_auth as dependency, due to this the new version of the package will be retarded until Net::SMTP_auth hits unstable." probably does not mean what you think.
>From wordnet, 1. (1) retarded -- (relatively slow in mental or emotional or physical development; "providing a secure and sometimes happy life for the retarded") I haven't checked the facts, but to improve the English I'd suggest something like "SVN::Notify 2.58 requires the Net::SMTP_auth module, which is not yet available in Debian. 2.58 will be uploaded as soon as Net::SMTP_auth enters unstable." In general, though, you don't need to note this kind of thing in the package itself. It's easier to file a bug against the package about the new upstream version, and note there the reasons for not uploading it yet. Debian packages are intended to enter releases, and it doesn't make much sense for a package in a stable release to contain a note like this, when a newer release/testing/whatever may already include the later version. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
