--- Begin Message ---Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-CC: Masanori Goto <[email protected]>, [email protected] Please remove lha from Debian. I am CCing the maintainer in case he wants to object again. It has been maintained by NMUers for 8 years, the last maintainer upload was in 2004 and the maintainer hasn't responded to any of the bug reports during that time http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lha/news/20041113T140219Z.html The maintainer never responded to the request to upload an alternative upstream: http://bugs.debian.org/240830 http://sourceforge.jp/projects/lha/releases/ It has a history of security issues: http://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/lha It is non-free but has it now has 2 free replacements in the archive: jlha-utils: a Java implementation lhasa: a command-line compatible C implementation In case these implementations have issues, people can reportbug bugs in them and they can improve. Also we now have snapshot.debian.org for people who encounter issues and need the non-free lha. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: lha | 1.14i-10.4 | source, amd64 ------------------- Reason ------------------- RoQA; non-free, free replacements, NMU-maint since 2004, poor security history ---------------------------------------------- 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 and will not propagate to any mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next dinstall 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. We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package. Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you have further comments please address them to [email protected]. The full log for this bug can be viewed at http://bugs.debian.org/685050 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
