Adam, I am ok to do anything that is required, but I'd need to know what you want me to do. Should I reupload php-net-smtp with a Conflicts: which was my intention in the first place (the Breaks: was a mistake), or should I simply reupload with only a Depends: php-pear (>= 5.3) ? I can prepare fixes for php-http-rquest and php-xml-parser too, if nobody else is willing to work on them. I have few servers running them, and I wouldn't like experiencing upgrade issues. Did you check all php PEAR packages in Debian? Is there any chance that there's more packages with the issue? As for php-soap, this is in the core of PHP5, right? So I guess that Ondřej Surý would take care of that? Ondřej, can you confirm that you will? Do you need me to write a patch and push it to our Git (it's a trivial dependency tweak that we need here...)? Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
