This is the first I've heard of bugs 394544 or 389353. I guess I'm not subscribed to the debian libmal bug tracker, but nobody forwarded the bugs to me. I will admit that I am pretty slow to update libmal, but I haven't stopped maintaining it. In fact, I just released version 0.43 last month. Perhaps this fixes 389353? > I now file a RC bug (this one) and a request to remove jpilot-syncmal > (#405946). > > jpilot-syncmal should not be distributed in Etch and can be removed from > testing until it is completely removed also from unstable. It seems there are very few users of jpilot-syncmal and libmal now. Both packages recently had a serious bug that went unnoticed for months. It's true that I no longer use them directly myself, but I will continue to fix bugs (that I know about). If 389353 is the only reason for removing libmal and jpilot-syncmal, then please reconsider.
