uninstallable packages

[Michael Biebl]

Hi Paul,

the latest systemd upload triggered various, new regressions.
E.g. looking at nftables, I can't really make sense out this error message:

badpkg: Test dependencies are unsatisfiable. A common reason is that
your testbed is out of date with respect to the archive, and you need to
use a current testbed or run apt-get update or use -U.

Do you have any idea what's going on here?

Michael
