eek!

Testing includes, as of the past few days, a bazillion packages not
installable on powerpc.

I have not check each one of these in detail.

The following packages have been kept back:
bug-buddy capplets-data dia-common dia-gnome dia-libs eog evolution
file-roller galeon galeon-common gcalctool gconf-editor gedit gedit-common
gimp gimp-data gimp-svg gnome gnome-applets gnome-applets-data
gnome-control-center gnome-core gnome-cups-manager gnome-desktop-environment
gnome-games gnome-games-data gnome-gv gnome-media gnome-office gnome-panel
gnome-panel-data gnome-session gnome-system-monitor gnome-system-tools
gnome-utils gnomemeeting gucharmap libbonoboui2-0 libbonoboui2-common
libcamel1.2-0 libebook1.2-3 libecal1.2-2 libedata-book1.2-2
libedata-cal1.2-1 libedataserver1.2-4 libedataserverui1.2-4 libeel2-2
libegroupwise1.2-5 libgal2.4-0 libgal2.4-common libgnome-desktop-2
libgnome2-0 libgnome2-common libgnomecupsui1.0-1 libgnomeui-0
libgnomeui-common libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomevfs2-common libgphoto2-2
libgsf-gnome-1 libgucharmap4 libpanel-applet2-0 libpt-plugins-alsa
libpt-plugins-v4l nautilus nautilus-cd-burner planner rep-gtk rep-gtk-gnome
sawfish totem totem-xine xbase-clients xlibs-dev xutils yelp


When I try, for example, capplets-data, it apt-get wants to remove
capplets. Why?:

capplets: Depends: capplets-data (= 1:2.8.2-3) but 1:2.10.1-6 is to be installed

I thought this was never supposed to happen in testing. It looks like
a lot of Architecture: all packages have been let into testing in ways
that break architecture: any packages.

On this particular issue, I think this is because this is superseded by
gnome-control-center: capplets isn't needed anymore, and should be
removed. Updating the relevant gnome meta-package should pull the
correct deps and let the older one be removed. gnome-control-center
provides, conflicts and replaces capplets. gnome-core depends on
gnome-control-center.

Maybe you can look into this a bit more with aptitude and check what
deps of the gnome meta-packages that you miss aren't in testing, and
whether this is really ppc specific.

Bye,
