Please move it to orphaned. It's neither maintained in Debian nor upstream and the homepage is dead. We have enough file manager in the dist. If a new version appears we can still add it to potato with a Replaces: explorer and that's it. Greetings Torsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Bug#71107: [wmono@debian.org: Re: RFC: removal of libqt1g from woody]
I would also recommend removing explorer as it depends on a non-existant package (qt1g and not libqt1g) and therefore isn't installable. done. I cannot remove explorer unless the maintainer asks. besides, it should be recompilable with qt2.2. ok...the source we (Debian) have for explorer does not compile against qt2. The web site it refers to (and ftp site) don't work...it also seems that upstream has changed the name of the package...and that site is also non functional. All documentation I have seen on the net says it is coded for qt1 only and that documentation is 3 years old. As it is now the current package does not work, cannot be installed due to dependencies, and it's not part of main. The last few uploads have been done as NMU's... I understand not removing a package that works without the maintainers approval, but a package that is non-functional and un-installable? (not trying to beat you up..just trying to understand...if this is policy then I need to bring this scenerio up to debian-policy...) Anyways, I will continue to look online for this and hope either to get it to work or for the Maintainer to pipe up. Ivan -- Ivan E.

The maintainer may be unaware of our conversation, (god knows why) and may be working on an upload as we speak. IMO, its the same philosophy as doing a NMU. Anyways, I will continue to look online for this and hope either to get it to work or for the Maintainer to pipe up. Feel free... I would suggest you simply file an RC bug on explorer, so that when woody comes around to being frozen, it will be removed, if it has not been resolved. -- Michael Beattie ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - aj i've been doing timing tests while playing mp3s in the background, haven't i? aj bloody stupid multitasking operating systems sgore aj: hehe tausq aj: here, have a copy of DOS - Debian GNU/Linux Ooohh You are missing out! pgpg1XH6EB0tv.pgp Description: PGP signature
