Package: libitext-java
Version: 2.1.7-4
Severity: serious

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libitext-java : Depends: libbctsp-java but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Package libbctsp-java 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 'libbctsp-java' has no installation candidate

Looks like bouncycastle dropped libbctsp-java
(see http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/bouncycastle/news/20130406T010007Z.html)
That one went into unstable on May 17
(http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/bouncycastle/news/20130517T054754Z.html)
Actually I don't see a removal of libbctsp-java in removals.txt (only
-doc and -gcj) and rmadison does still show it, but...

I know that experimentals libitext-java *is* installable, though:

root at frodo:/# apt-get -t experimental install libitext-java

After this operation, 31.3 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? 

That probably should just be uploaded to unstable asap.
