[Bug 307552] [NEW] The snow source package has been incorrectly superseeded

[Cesare Tirabassi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: snow

Apparently (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=505309) the snow source package in Debian (which used to produce the r-cran-snow binary package) has incorrectly been superseed by another source package with the same name (producing the snow binary package).
For Ubuntu this means that we have now an r-cran-snow binary package which is not built anymore from source (http://people.ubuntu.com/%7Eubuntu-archive/NBS/r-cran-snow) and a new snow binary package.
We should probably wait and follow the solution adopted by Debian (I guess a re-upload of the former snow package with a superseeding version number and a re-upload of the latter snow package with a different source name).
