Sorry for the wrong intermediate bug status change...
I don't know even if it is right that I can change the bug status to "Confirmed"; maybe it should be a maintainer prerogative.
However... I can say that it is confirmed :) because of no traces of dcmtk 3.6.0-2 in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/d/dcmtk/

@Bhavani: I saw you active on aeskulap bugs and added you to subscribers. May you take a look at this, too? Thanks :)

[Giovanni (aka Vanni) Totaro (vanni-totaro)]

Added @Felix to subscribers because of his commit: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/natty/aeskulap/natty/revision/9#debian/control

This bug simply means that NO ONE can install aeskulap on natty via Ubuntu Software Center & co.

[Giovanni (aka Vanni) Totaro (vanni-totaro)]

Added @Andreas to subscribers too :)

[Giovanni (aka Vanni) Totaro (vanni-totaro)]

This is a showstopper bug. No response from packagers & co yet. Sooo B-A-D.

[Giovanni (aka Vanni) Totaro (vanni-totaro)]

Just retried to contact Felix Geyer via email. Let's see what happens.

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

There are no significant changes in dcmtk 3.6.0-2 so we can presumably just make it depend on dcmtk >= 3.6.0.

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

Uploaded fixed package to natty-proposed, waiting for approval.

[Giovanni (aka Vanni) Totaro (vanni-totaro)]

Great job, Felix. Thank you :)

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Accepted aeskulap into natty-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

[Hadmut Danisch (hadmut)]

Yup. Works. Thanks.

[Giovanni (aka Vanni) Totaro (vanni-totaro)]

Thank you very much Felix. Now works for me too.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package aeskulap - 0.2.2b1-7ubuntu1.1
