Hi Jozef, Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a member of the pkg-multimedia team, a bunch of folks that, among others, maintain your package 'creox' in Debian. In Debian the package maintainers for QT and KDE have scheduled the removal from QT3 and KDE3 packages, which creox currently depends on.

This is unfortunate as it means that we have to request the removal of creox from unstable. If anyone can, please provide input so that we don't need to remove creox from Debian. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
