--- Begin Message ---Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:percol User: [email protected] Usertags: remove percol hasn't been updated upstream in over 6 years at this point: https://github.com/mooz/percol/commits/master/ It has a RC bug (#1085774) that was improperly labeled and that should have kept it from being released in trixie altogether. Essentially, it wasn't ported to Python 3, so it's dead in Debian. There are plenty of alternatives: fzf, peco, and pick are all in Debian now, with skim an ITP (#956078). I don't even use this myself at this point, and suspect people would be much better served by the alternatives.

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: percol | 0.2.1-3 | source, all ------------------- Reason ------------------- ROM; dead upstream, broken ---------------------------------------------- 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/1116233 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
