Hi,

I'm sorry, but I cannot upload python-pbr to Unstable right now. A lot
of packages in Sid are using pbr in a lower version, and uploading pbr
1.3 to Sid will break them. In fact, it will break all of OpenStack kilo
which is the current stable version of OpenStack I maintain right now.

The correct thing to do was to upload python-mock 1.3 to Experimental,
not to Sid. I would strongly suggest to revert the upload of mock 1.3 in
Sid and upload mock 1.3 to Experimental.

I am open to any other (better) solution, but I don't see any right now.
Maybe we could backport the semantic_version part of pbr into the Sid
package to temporarily fix the issue.

BTW, I have uploaded funcsigs to Sid, so at least that one is fixed if
you add the correct Depends: (let's hope the FTP masters accept the
package soon though).

Your thoughts?

Cheers,
