This should explain a bit more:

Code:

/home/user # apt-get -s install mbarcode-core
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package mbarcode-core is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package mbarcode-core has no installation candidate

Trying to install the new "core" dependency directly simply declares it doesn't exist, but is referred to by another package (presumably mbarcode itself).

So yeah. I'm guessing the auto-builder or something else in the repo's workings failed, so the package doesn't exist or got removed because of something automated messing up in the repository maintenance.

@the mbarcode dev: reuploading to devel should help? Maybe giving it a version bumb in the packaging in case something stuck?

@Users: This kind of stuff happens when you're using extras-devel. This is why extras-devel exists - so when programs mess up like this it's caught. (Just in case anyone was starting to feel entitled to non-breaking software in extras-devel.)
