[arch-general] extra repository is messed up and broken AGAIN

[Sebastian Lau]

Hi folks,


again, some trusted user destroyed our extra repository again. I heard 
rumors about who did it, but I can not verify it yet. Maybe he has more 
than one account and he is destroying arch. At the moment I'm trying to 
clean up my beloved collaborative Arch, but it is not patchable at the 
moment. Why the fuck is gtk software depending on a bunch of kdelibs? A 
log from just before:

I wished, I had the time to clean it now with the other Trusted users, 
but I'm no TU yet. I talked to a person who gave in, it was his plan to 
do it like this and we had this problem before. At the moment I cannot 
come into ts or irc, but some friends of mine will. Please find this 
fucked up dependency circles, fix them, block him and so on. I think, it 
could be the same person half a year before.


Bye and good luck,
