Source: rust-netlink-packet-route-0.19 Severity: wishlist User: [email protected] Usertags: proposed-removal
Dear Debian Rust Maintainers, I would like to propose removing rust-netlink-packet-route-0.19 from unstable, subject to confirmation that no reverse dependencies remain. This versioned source package was introduced in February 2025 to support rtnetlink 0.14.1 while the unversioned rust-netlink-packet-route package moved to newer releases. Its debian/README.source explicitly states that it was retained for dependencies that had not yet been ported, referencing: https://github.com/rust-netlink/rtnetlink/issues/76 The relevant packaging history is: * 1c88c177f9: introduced netlink-packet-route-0.19 as a separate package. * 5a119c05d3: switched rtnetlink to route 0.19 and disabled the patches intended to support route 0.20/0.21. * 88f5d38f56: upgraded rtnetlink to 0.20 in June 2026. That package depends on netlink-packet-route 0.28 rather than 0.19. The original compatibility requirement therefore appears to have gone away. Best regards, Klemen
