amarok is not in testing and anyways needs a source upload for #784448. It is also worth looking at the around 300 (sic) currently open RC bugs I have reported for FTBFS that were *not* caused by me [1]: Current status quo in Debian is that it is completely normal that a new upload of some package is followed by me filing 10-50 RC bugs against packages that FTBFS due to that change. So when the only rdep is one package that is not in testing and anyways requires a (non-trivial) sourceful upload for re-entering testing, I fail to see any reasonable justification for me to spend additional time on going through any process longer than just filing an RC bug. > Pino Toscano cu Adrian [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?submitter=b...@debian.org -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
