Is broken packages and package request still down and/or overloaded ?

I have two packages with Openbox full still needing dependency packages
Found thru  terminal analysis...  OK

And another package that has full dependencies on one mirror but is
missing dependencies on an alternate mirror.    Did not list or provide
the last package needed.   Terminal was req'd,   OK  .   A package several months
old not something current to be cloned.   A medium old package as a matter of fact.

Not as bad as it sounds when packages req'd are missing
and the terminal says exactly which ones they are,  which
one's exactly.

If the program run in terminal says I'm missing lib-bozo or whatever
sometimes it's easy here to just add "lib-bozo" thru Synaptic, the
package manager.    Otherwise, forum questions, broken package reports,
and other assorted inquiries appear.   Which is good sometimes !

When things like this are found, if any, dump them in a broken packages topic,
or hold off awhile during transition ?

Most people don't because the terminal even specifies which package is missing,
and they install it, but not all of the time.   And the end is not complete then.

Do you want them one at a time or all at once, or is OpenBox stiill so light
most discrepancies as per above would be resolved by using LXDE or
higher in the first place ?    That also is true.

Well enough Blarney and Holy Orders from me in one message,

Please advise appropriately,

FF (aka Pontius Pilate)  ;D ;D ;D

P.S  I have 3 threads I could start but they were resolved by running the problem in the terminal
and responding accordingly !

Package Suggest is closed, not down or overloaded. As you posted this in Broken Packages, I fail to see how you could think that it is down or overloaded. ??? ::)     

Broken Packages is not the place to post questions. ::) If you post in that section, you must name the package that is broken and tell us how/why it is broken.     

I repeat. Do not post questions in Broken Packages. Post broken package reports only. One package per thread. Do not include a list of packages in one post. Include all relevant info.     

In your post, you say you have encountered broken packages. Do you expect us to guess which packages they are/what is broken? Your post is long but contains no real information. Try providing enough information for someone to figure out what you are talking about.
