Severity: important
Hi,
Just recently a security problem was found in all MaxDB versions (see
bug #461444). This problem cannot be easily fixed.
In addition, MaxDB has gone closed source again starting with version 7.6
and there will be no more updates to the open source version in Debian.
Therefore -besides the current security problem for which I do not have
a fix- it does not make sense to try and keep fixing a version that
becomes more and more outdated with no prospect of ever being able to
upgrade to a more recent version.
There are a few dependent packages that need to be removed as well:
libdbd-maxdb-perl
php-maxdb (both(depend on libsqldbc75 from the maxdb-7.5.00
package)
The following packages will not be updated by upstream any more either,
so they can go as well:
maxdb-doc
maxdb-buildtools
libsapdbc-java
The maxdb-7.6.00 package is from the time version 7.6 was still supposed
to be open source. The package just made it into experimental and should
be removed, too.
Thanks for your help and best wishes,
Martin.

python-maxdb-loader | 7.5.00.44-2 | amd64, i386, ia64
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.
Packages are never removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.
Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System. Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
