Hello Lucas and Andreas.

The bug seems to be correct in the sense that the package may not be built.

It's maybe apt-get error message, which does not give all the information
we would like to see.

I've just tried this in a sid chroot:

# apt-get build-dep r-bioc-deseq2
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 builddeps:r-bioc-deseq2 : Depends: r-cran-knitr but it is not going to be installed

# apt-get install r-cran-knitr
 r-cran-knitr : Depends: r-cran-yaml but it is not going to be installed

# apt-get install r-cran-yaml 
 r-cran-yaml : Depends: libyaml-0-2 (= 0.1.6-3) but it is not going to be installed

# apt-cache show libyaml-0-2 | grep Version:
Version: 0.1.7-1


If you do a mass reassign because of this, please use "affects" as
well, so that the bug still show in the web page for the package which
may not be built.

Thanks.
