The package extra/archboot 2015.09-1 depends on a deprecated package "prebootloader" which has been replaced by efi-tools-1.7.0-1. This prevents systems with archboot from upgrading.

Removing archboot, upgrading, and reinstalling results in:

warning: cannot resolve "prebootloader>=20130206-1", a dependency of "archboot"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
archboot

Can someone update the depends in archboot?

Oops. The dependency is efitools-1.7.0-1 (no dash).

I'll release a new archboot soon. I need to add the changes from prebootloader to efitools first.
