Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hi,
I hereby request the removal of lxr from the archive, it should not be
included in squeeze as well.
The version that our package is currently based on is 0.3 (from 2003), which
is light years behind upstream, has security bugs and not properly maintained.
See e.g. #588138 and #585411. Probably #575745 affects lxr as well, hard to tell
though, the code heavily differs since it's so old.
There has been no move from the maintainer towards packaging current upstream
versions and given the small number of popcon installations this doesn't have
an impact on many users.
Cheers
Nico

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
lxr | 0.3.1-5 | source, all
lxr-cvs | 0.9.5+cvs20071020-1.1 | source, all
------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; security bugs, oooold upstream version, not properly maintained
----------------------------------------------
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was superseded by another one.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
