I have a recompile-only NMU of ethereal in preparation for ethereal
right now to address this issue.

This is unstable. Things break. Things are fixed. Btw, the proper
way is to send a bug report; nobody is asked to read debian-devel.
(I would take the blame much easier if it wasn't for your tone,
thanks you, I'm not in the mood.)

Thanks Steve for the NMU. I have very little time for the moment and
the security issues urged me to upload a new version quicky. I just
checked the packages installed and ran correctly on my computer;
forgetting about experimental packages I had installed.


Sorry for the inconvenience,

Frederic

This was not "one package" but a significant part of the Gnome package
uploads in the last days. Also a number of packages have been
misuploaded to sid instead of experimental.

Can you list them, so that we can watch to make sure they don't get into
testing?

I do not know of any of them which has not either been fixed by a new
correct upload or which does not have a rc bug about this. - But I
have not done extensive analysis.
