I agree that the package in experimental should get removed as well. Upstream is dead for years and the package FTBFS. If people would ever want to continue working on it they can find the current state in GIT or in the snapshots archive. It does not make sense to keep it in Debian in its current state. Furthermore, the Games team keeps receiving bug reports for it that noone will care about, e.g. #765825. Thanks, Fabian

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from experimental: vavoom | 1.33-5 | source, amd64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x, sparc ------------------- Reason ------------------- RoQA; dead upstream ---------------------------------------------- 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 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. 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 Please check all open bugs and close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package was superseded by another one. The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal can still be found using http://snapshot.debian.org/. 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 https://bugs.debian.org/766009 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
