[X2Go-Dev] repository: broken dependencies since today

[ITM Administrators]

Hello Mihai,

> You cannot reproduce that now, is that correct?
We have upgraded all computers manually after some hints from the IRC
channel. So there are no computers left in this non-updated state to test.

> hours later.
This hasn't helped. The problem still persisted after 6 days. Here the
log from the IRC (have I talked with you?):

This just as a reference if others still have the problem. For us, the
problem is solved. But I wasn't able to withdraw this email to the
mailing list since the link is only valid for 3 days and the problem was
solved after 6 days.
