Bug#721677: more background on the gnome-user-share bug

[Stefan Krastanov]

And in experimental I got:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnome-control-center : Depends: libcolord-gtk1 (>= 0.1.24) but it is
not installable
                        Depends: libgnome-desktop-3-7 (>= 3.7.90) but
it is not going to be installed
                        Depends: libibus-1.0-5 (>= 1.5.1) but it is
not installable
                        Depends: libpwquality1 (>= 1.1.0) but it is
not installable
                        Depends: libwacom2 (>= 0.7) but 0.6-1 is to be installed
                        Depends: gnome-control-center-data (>=
1:3.8.3-2) but 1:3.4.3.1-5 is to be installed
                        Depends: gnome-settings-daemon (>= 3.7.91) but
3.4.2+git20121218.7c1322-6+b2 is to be installed

Should I try to report this to anybody or should I just wait for the
packages to trickle down to my current distribution.
