Update the versions of gmp and ihu in testing to those mentioned if doing so makes the overall state of testing no worse than it was before they were updated (e.g. no more uninstallable packages). The packages are listed in a single hint to ensure that the update is an atomic unit; otherwise the new version of gmp would have made the version of ihu in testing uninstallable and thus wouldn't have transitioned. > (b) why the transition happened only yesterday if, indeed, > the hint was put in place on 2007-07-26. Yesterday was the first occassion when both packages were eligible for transition - mostly due to a missing ia64 build of ihu until then.
