Hi, Please unblock dvidvi 1.0-8 for migration to etch. I'm the maintainer of the package.
The whole background is in bug#411537. We realised that both texlive-bin and dvdvi (source packages) shipped /usr/bin/dvidvi in one of their binary packages texlive-extra-utils and dvidvi, respectively. At this point I realised that dvidvi depends on tetex, which kept it from being coinstalled with texlive, and that dependency was completely unnecessary. The short-term solution we (I and the Debian TeX maintainers) have agreed upon for etch timeframe is: - make dvidvi coinstallable with texlive - remove /usr/bin/dvidvi from texlive-extra-utils; the Debian TeX maintainers will make their own upload and unblock request for that. We'll do something better for lenny: merge the two forks (already in experimental), ship it as part of texlive-extra-utils, push changes to the only active upstream. But we judged that starting merging two forks is not fitting at this point in the etch release cycle. -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
