--- Begin Message ---Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal User: [email protected] Usertags: remove X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:libppd Greetings, As previously announced in #1052056 ("Intent To Remove: src:libppd"), I'm asking you to remove the libppd package from Debian unstable. The ressons boil down to: First, upstream is dead, last release was in 2002-ish (by looking at the latest timestamp in the orig.tar). Second, some binary package names collide with a different libppd implementation provided by CUPS. Several months ago I made an attempt to resolve this by renaming the package here, but I gave up on this - besides some obstacles I've changed my mind and doubt all this was worth the efforts. (An RM for that libppd-legacy package will follow shortly.) There is one reverse dependency outstide src:libppd, it's the gpr package. It's likewise upstream-dead and dropped out of testing recently for other reasons, and I doubt it's going to come back. The maintainer was included in the Intent To Remove above, no reaction. Christoph (maintainer of src:libppd)

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: libppd | 2:0.10-9 | source libppd-dev | 2:0.10-9 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x libppd0 | 2:0.10-9 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x ppdfilt | 2:0.10-9 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x ------------------- Reason ------------------- ROM; Dead upstream, binary package name collision ---------------------------------------------- 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. 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 https://bugs.debian.org/1053418 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
