Thanks for that feedback Looks like the following three packages are impacted by this build dependency: src:abiword src:ball src:resiprocate All those packages need patching to work with the new version of asio due to API changes Does the release team have any preference for making this a formal transition or we should just work it out informally between the maintainers of these packages?
