I've been working on fixing the gambas deps issues. Gambas packages
had a dep for openldap, which has now changed to openldap-client. I
just uploaded fixed gambas packages to the repo and will be putting
them in the proper places soon. Gambas is on extra/, but
gambas-runtime should be on packages/, as it's the normal way for non
gambas developers to run the apps. Regarding gambas-runtime though,
there is an issue with the package name. Up to now I had been calling
it gambas-runtime_full, in reference to the integrated nature of the
package, against the separate components - packaging recommended by
the developers. For some reason, the latest runtime package went on
the iso with the wrong name. Now, should I just switch the package
name on the repo to gambas-runtime from now on? Or keep the _full and
add gambas-runtime to slack-conflicts?

Why is ntfs-3g "NEW"? IIRC, it was in RC2. Should show as upgrade.
