RC Bugs 2012/37
No real RC bugs work done in last weeks due to busy time. In week 2012/37 this is what I have done:

RC Bugs 2012/35
A little bit of work on RC bugs this week:
#680845 - derivations: FTBFS: Can't create output index file /«PKGBUILDDIR»/tex/main.ind.
Checked that the package builds now again both in wheezy and unstable and closed the bugreport.
#684736 - melange: ImportError: No module named melange
Add a Depends on python-melange for the melange binary package. Propose the patch in the BTS but did not took any further action.
#685983 - burst generates invalid PDFs (free xref entries wrongly marked as used)
Found reference to corresponding Launchpad Bugreport and send information to the BTS.
#685694 - libmatio-doc: almost empty PDF
Verified that rebuilding the package solves the problem. Ask the Release Team on IRC on further steps.
#685814 - phpgacl: prompting due to modified conffiles which were not modified by the user
Investigated the bugreport. The package ships a conffile which get's modified by maintainer scripts on configure. This is explicitly discouraged by Debian policy.
RC Bugs 2012/34

RC Bugs 2012/33
Again two quite busy weeks and thus I was not able to really solve some RC bugs.
#682631 - linaro-image-tools: FTBFS: AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'major'
Triaged the FTBFS on linaro-image-tools and nautilus-image-manipulator which where caused by a backwards compatibility problem for python-distutils-extra to python <= 2.6.
Contributed one part of the patch to solve the problem. The other one was done by gregoa.
RC Bugs 2012/31
My activity for 2012/31 is (again) quite small:
#682633 - libemail-outlook-message-perl: FTBFS: test failed
Report the bug upstream. Furthermore verified that it only affects unstable but not wheezy. I have packaged afterwards the new upstream version and uploaded to unstable.
#680796 - libmojomojo-perl: FTBFS: tests failed
Tried to investigate the issue. It seems the expected strings do not start anymore with the h1 tag. Submit a lazy workaround for the issue to the BTS.
RC Bugs 2012/30
My activity for 2012/30 is quite small:
#682629 - libemail-mime-perl: FTBFS: test failed
Prepare the new upstream version. I have verified that this FTBFS does not affects wheezy. Thus upload the new upstream version to unstable.
