Sorry, I didn't make myself understood. In other words, is not
recommendable remove a package from Debian without coordinate it.
Considering that you removed cupp3 suddenly, the best way to fix it
without disrupt other packages/users is adopt the same procedure as
renaming a package (this procedure is also used to rename but it not
just to rename).

Sure, I will do it soon.

Dear maintainer,

Hi Eriberto


After renaming cupp3 to cupp suddenly and without coordinate with other
maintainers, forensics-extra packages (and maybe others) was affected.
If it is a forced needed transition, please coordinate the action before
make it.

Sorry for this, I should have coordinated it.


If you only need rename the package from now on because a light reason
as Python 2 removing, please follow these instructions[1]. IMO, this is
the solution for cupp. Note that you package will arrives to NEW queue.

The cupp source package generated two binaries: cupp and cupp3, respectively
the version for python2 and python3. The new upstream version of cupp 
[1] removed
the python2 implementation, so the cupp3 lost its purpose, as we started 
having only the python3 version.


So in debian release [2], I removed the cupp3 of cupp source package, I 
don't rename the package.


Could you modify the dependencies of forensics-extra to use cupp package 
instead of cupp3? [3].
