Can't install update-notifier-common, depends on python3-debian

[Haw Loeung]

Hi,

I'm having issues trying to install the update-notifier-common package. It seems to want python3-debian but that doesn't exist.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 update-notifier-common : Depends: python3-debian but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I'm running 12.10 alpha2.

Regards,

Haw
