Latest Ubuntu changelog:

gnuchess (5.07-5ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

The unstable package has now migrated to testing and thus the FTBFS issue is now fixed, so the package can be synced. The package now builds in a lucid chroot because of the patch released:

dpkg-deb: building package `gnuchess' in `../gnuchess_5.07-7_i386.deb'.
 dpkg-genchanges >../gnuchess_5.07-7_i386.changes
dpkg-genchanges: not including original source code in upload
dpkg-buildpackage: binary and diff upload (original source NOT included)

Did you read the actual diff? The changes weren't applied in Debian yet:

Dear Vikram,
It is not a merge, it is a sync. When gnuchess 5.07-7 will migrate to testing, we can sync this. Please wait.
Regards,
Artur

[Vikram Dhillon (dhillon-v10)]

Thanks Artur, I do know that this package will be synced, and 6 days were missing because I am exercising with Andrea Veri (my mentor) doing some merges

[Andrea Veri (av)]

there's no point in merging this anymore, it took too much time to perform the merge and in the meantime the latest revision migrated to testing.

The right thing to do would be moving this bug report into a sync request again.

Thanks.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

sync request ACK'd

BTW you can request syncs from unstable, too. You do not need to wait 10 days until the package migrates to testing.
