I've downgraded the severity as this issue is just present in the
experimental package and hence can't be RC. That package is btw.
really considered experimental and not just because of the freeze in
experimental.

 during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
 per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
 a release, thus the severity.

The culprit was a non-versioned dependency.

   invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/xymon-client not found.
[...]
   chown: invalid user: 'xymon:xymon'

The according init script and adduser command is in xymon-client, but
only in version 4.3.7-1 and above. According to the log, xymon-client
4.3.0~beta2.dfsg-9.1 from Sid has been installed.

The fix for that is already in the git repo for a while:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/xymon.git;a=commitdiff;h=8002cfce2c3b4b659baa3fe48a46da4eb2a03c2e

Guess I should upload another WIP package to experimental soonish to
fix all the known issues.

Regards, Axel

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package xymon.
  (Reading database ... 7775 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking xymon (from .../xymon_4.3.7-1_amd64.deb) ...

  Setting up xymon (4.3.7-1) ...

  chown: invalid user: 'xymon:xymon'
  dpkg: error processing xymon (--configure):

  Errors were encountered while processing:

cheers,

Andreas
