Hi, I am very sorry for the loud subject of my mail (I know it is bad netiquette), but since I got no satisfying answer on my first mail concerning "disappeared packages" and because the issue is important I decided to try it again with shouting ;-).
Here is the problem: Three packages (w3mir, webmin, and fancylogin) that were definitely available in Debian main some time ago, and that are still present in the BTS (all have outstanding bugs), COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED from Debian. Any search with "Search Package Directories" on the Debian website failed to produce a result: w3mir and webmin are neither in unstable, nor in testing or stable. Fancylogin is reported to be in unstable and there also is a package page, but the package is not found from the download page and is also not present in any of the mirrors. I checked the wnpp pages, but none of these three packages is reported as orphaned or withdrawn. What the hell is going on here? There is a further weird package disappearance in unstable: all mgetty packages (execept mgetty-doc) are gone! Hey, these are important packages. Why am I the only one who seems to have noticed they are no longer here? Why is there no information on the Debian website about the reasons for their disappearance? By the way: The same applies to the package wmf (Web Mail Folder). Could please someone explain, or take care of these problems. Thanks and Happy New Year, Guenter -- Linux: Who needs GATES in a world without fences?
