Hi, Tachyon removes a -dev package, which is still used by ovito, which is why I blocked the migration. See [1] for the extended story. The summary: * I recommended that ovito was updated as it was the only rdep - I assumed it to be faster than re-introducing the -dev package. * Jerome said he had asked the maintainer to do it. * There is no upload of ovito for months and no bug report about it. Technically, said package is replaced by a series of "provides" from various other packages. However, I am fairly sure that buildd insist on their being exactly 1 provider of a virtual package if it is to be used. In other words, I believe ovito is still unbuildable on our buildds. Regardless, I prefer that we solve this issue now rather than letting Tachyon migrate and leaving ovito broken until someone (re)discovers the problem.
