Where does it fail to build? The package is up to date on all archs. "Not working" is a problem, of course, and is what the cited bug report talks about. > Because of this I propose to be removed from unstable (and automatically > from lenny). Maybe the 'vnc' source package should be removed along with > all the binary packages built from this? Why, what's wrong with the other binary packages built from the vnc source? Anyway, debian-release is not the right place to propose such a removal. Binary-only package removals need to go through the package maintainer or, at least, an NMUer; only once the source package is fixed up wrt this removal should the binary removal be requested through the ftp team. As a first step, let's fix the severity of the bug. This should have been RC all along - amd64 is not our only 64-bit architecture, so if vncserver is not 64-bit-clean, that needs to be dealt with (one way or another) instead of leaving broken binaries in the archive. > The same package(s) is(are) included in the stable/etch release.
