[06:51] <crimsun> dunno if anyone is around, but for people new to packaging, MOTU, and StableReleaseUpdates, I'll describe briefly what was done to verify a straightforward SRU candidate as documented at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2009-December/010272.html
[06:52] <crimsun> what we have here is an uninstallable package due to specific versioned dependencies generated at compile time
[06:53] <crimsun> essentially what was done: simply increment the version in debian/rules, regenerate the source package, pass the source package to pbuilder to generate a binary package of libghc6-src-exts-dev_1.0.1-1build2_amd64.deb to test-install through piuparts
[06:54] <crimsun> once again, it's very straightforward to spend a few minutes and catch these sorts of drive-by/opportunistic "bug reports" on mailing lists, identi.ca, twitter.com, etc.
[06:54] <crimsun> (I'll stick around for a few minutes more if there are any questions)
[14:25] <chitebbeiv> hi, i'm writing a script for most important (according to my tasks) software to install and I need a way to let apt-get ignore previously installed packages, is it possible to do?
[14:27] <FFEMTcJ> chitebbeiv: you may want to try asking in #ubuntu..
[14:27] <FFEMTcJ> This isn't a support channel.
