Or is there a new version not recorded in the BTS? The patch on #646456 prepares an NMU, which gregor herrmann was going to sponsor, but then decided against when it didn't build on amd64. I tried rebuilding with the same patch and it built, but some of the tests failed (#662002) and I have no way to judge how significant that is, so I didn't sponsor it either.

Hi Simon, Bernhard Link has been organizing a group of folks to take over maintaining this package. Also, I should mention it is not primarily a library -- the main use case for singular is a command-line repl for doing mathematical calculations; the library version is only used by the sagemath software (not currently in Debian). So I'd recommend against removing the package at this time. -Tim Abbott On Sat, 3 Mar 2012, Simon McVittie wrote: Package: singular Version: 3-0-4-3.dfsg-3 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: proposed-removal singular seems like a possible candidate for removal from Debian: * library with no reverse dependencies * no maintainer upload since 2009 * no maintainer response to an RC bug for several months * assorted linking problems (see the patches from Mònica's attempted NMU) If you don't think this package is needed any more, please send the following commands to cont...@bugs.debian.org, replacing nn with this bug's number: severity nn normal reassign nn ftp.debian.org retitle nn RM: packagename -- RoM; reasons thanks Alternatively, please keep up with fixing it.
