How can I remove that from unstable but not from testing? Dear Ole, if the presence of this package is really disruptive, you can re-upload the previous version using an epoch. But if the problem is only that you wanted to keep unstable in sync with testing in case you need to correct a RC bug, then it is better to leave the package as it is: there is still the possibility of updates through testing-proposed-updates.

You can use the reportbug tool to report a ftpmaster removal bug - pick the ftp.debian.org pseudo-package. If you want to have a package removed from Testing, or even Stable, you need to get in touch with the Release Team instead. Moreover, it is not an ideal situation if a package is in Testing only, but not in Unstable. Hence you could just upload a newer version to Unstable, which is actually a downgrade (say, you have uploaded 1.0, but Sid should have 0.99, upload something with a release number such as 1.0.really.0.99). That does not need any removal request. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
