I think I just found the answer to my question, here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=owncloud#_4_2_5 owncloud 4.0 (the version that was in wheezy testing) had a serious bug. It's been fixed, but in the next release: owncloud 5.0. But, wheezy had already been frozen by that time and so owncloud got pulled. So next time I'll check the "Bugs in source package" link to understand why a package got pulled from a release: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=owncloud -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
