Package: svgatextmode
Version: 1.9-21
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
when i try to use the stm binary, i get what
follows (i appended also the output of the lspci command)
% sudo stm
Chipset = `RIVA128', Textmode clock = 28.30 MHz, 80x25 chars, CharCell = 9x16.
Refresh = 31.44kHz/70.0Hz.
stm: Syncing disks...
stm: ERROR: No supported nVidia GPU found in PCI info!
% lspci -m | grep -i geforce
02:00.0 "VGA compatible controller" "nVidia Corporation" "G96 [GeForce 9400
GT]" -ra1 "Elitegroup Computer Systems" "Device 10b7"
%
afaik, a relevant portion of new hardware systems on which
debian is going to be installed include one of the new video
chips from nVidia, and the lack of support for these chips
is fatal to the usability of this package on many new systems
my best regards,
gb

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
svgatextmode | 1.9-21 | source, amd64, i386
------------------- Reason -------------------
RoM; incompatible with kernel video drivers
----------------------------------------------
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 usually not 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. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.
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was superseded by another one.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
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
