Thanks for reporting this.

FWIW, all packages as listed on
https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=ko.vandersloot%40uvt.nl are somewhat
tightly related.  New upstream releases come in bursts.  Versions of about the
same age build and run fine together.  When versions in Debian get out of sync,
bad things will likely happen.  Same comment applies to Bug#813445: frog:
FTBFS, of course.

Currently, I can't promis to help with this soonish.   Luckily there still is
time before the next freeze...

Bye,

Joost

Nope.  Hrm, I guess I can state: if there hasn't been done done any
substantial work on this by february 1, 2016; feel free to remove this stuff
from the archive.  I expect I'll have been able to allocate some time on this
before that date.

 Hi,
 
 during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
 'sid' to 'experimental'.
 It installed fine in 'sid', then the upgrade to 'experimental' fails
 because it tries to overwrite other packages files without declaring a
 Breaks+Replaces relation.

I'll get to this soonish.  It'll get fixed with the upcoming upload of new
upstream 1.9. (Note to self: first convert repo from svn to git.)

Thanks for reporting!

This package of mbt should not be in jessie: a library transition

This transition will take place in unstable; transitioned packages

 The ppc64el architecture has been added to the Debian archive. Your

 It would be very nice if you can upload a fixed version of this package.
 Don't hesitate to ask questions if you need help to fix this bug. If
 you lack time for that, I can also proceed with an NMU.
 
 [1] https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.php?pkg=ticcutilsarch=ppc64el

Please NMU.  ETA of fix by me would be october 15.

(I plan to convert the ticcutils packaging stuff at alioth from SVN to git and
upload new upstream ticcutils 0.5 soonish.  I believe this means next to
ticcutils, 7 other tightly related packages need to get upgraded to new
upstream, see https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=ko.vandersloot%40uvt.nl
