Re: Try not to break packages in a freeze phase [was: vtk7_7.1.1+dfsg2-9_source.changes ACCEPTED into unstable]

[Shayan Doust]

Hello Anton,

Unfortunately not much, mainly due to time constraints.

I will however revert the changes and upload the previous state of the package as soon as possible. Once freeze is over, I'll try and fix the issue and take care of the package.

Kind regards,
Shayan Doust
