Hi Philip,

It seems you simply forgot to request new build after you uploaded revision 85
to lp:~gpoweroff/gpoweroff/lucid

I've just builded new lucid build without any problems with your recipe:

https://code.launchpad.net/~gpoweroff/+recipe/gpoweroff-lucid

As you see, merging works fine now :) Conflict was before, because in both
branches the same line in debian/control file was changed after branch split,
but now you changed this line only in one branch - lp:~gpoweroff/gpoweroff/lucid

Btw, could you set automatic translation export to main lp:gpoweroff branch?

Simply type gpoweroff here:
https://translations.launchpad.net/gpoweroff/trunk/+link-translations-branch

I can't set this because you are the owner of main lp:gpoweroff branch
