Bug#324445: Lingering Priority: important libopencdk4 package on AMD64 breaks installation

2005-08-21 Thread Miciah Dashiel Butler Masters
Package: libopencdk4
Version: 1:0.4.2-4
Severity: grave
Justification: Breaks installation

When I was trying to install SID with a recent installer nightly (which
I assume doesn't diminish the relevance of this particular report),
the installation would fail on account of this package. Because
the priority of the package is 'important', the installer tries
to install it automatically, but it depends on libgcrypt1, which is not
in unstable (or testing or stable).

I notice that packages.debian.org lists libopencdk4 as being
available only for amd64, and as this package is quite old,
I figure that it should simply be dropped.

In trying to find reports of this problem, I found bug 272586,
which was supposed to have been fixed by changing the priority
of this package, amongst others.

Much love,

>From what I see (as non dak admin) the package should not be in the
archive (anymore). The following packages exists in the DB:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ madison libopencdk4
libopencdk4 |  1:0.4.2-4 |  unstable | amd64

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ madison opencdk
   opencdk |  1:0.4.2-4 |  unstable | source

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ madison opencdk8
  opencdk8 |   0.5.5-10 |stable | source
  opencdk8 |0.5.7-2 |   testing | source
  opencdk8 |0.5.7-2 |  unstable | source


But the overrides, synced nightly from Debian, say only:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/org/amd64.debian.net$ grep opencdk scripts/override/*sid*
scripts/override/override.sid.main:libopencdk8-dev  optionallibdevel
scripts/override/override.sid.main:libopencdk8-dbg  extra   libdevel
scripts/override/override.sid.main:libopencdk8  important   libs
scripts/override/override.sid.main.src:opencdk8 libs


Going by the opencdk bugreport the package was removed around August
1st. Plenty of time for the amd64 rene to recommend its removal. Yet
it still remains. An ftp-master might have to intervene, that means
Ganneff or Aba. I messaged Ganneff on irc about this and he usualy
reads the amd64 list anyway.
