A member of the release team has to notice the hint is needed or have it pointed out by the maintainer, and then add that hint by hand. That part's done now, though it's generally more effective to mail debian-release instead of debian-python in order to get the release team to take note. :) The other problem is that python-scipy is *not* ready to go into testing: $ grep-excuses python-scipy python-scipy (0.5.2-0.1 to 0.6.0-5) Maintainer: Debian Python Modules Team 21 days old (needed 5 days) out of date on arm: python-scipy (from 0.6.0-4) Not considered Depends: python-scipy python-numpy $ The package is failing to build on arm with a swig error: <http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=python-scipy&arch=arm&ver=0.6.0-5&stamp=1198958132&file=log&as=raw> I don't know why this is happening only on arm, but it needs resolved before these packages will be updated in testing. > b) Updating python-numpy makes 5 non-depending packages uninstallable > on i386: model-builder, ninix-aya, python-gastables, python-nifti, > pyxplot > Looking for example at: > $ wajig show model-builder > [...] > Depends: python, python-central (>= 0.5.8), python-numpy-ext, > python-scipy, python-wxtools, python-wxversion, python-matplotlib, > python-setuptools > I don't see why newer python-numpy makes it uninstallable. Because it depends on python-scipy, which is the depending package that has already been made uninstallable? > Any ideas how to fix b), so that python-numpy can go to testing?
