Subject: O: libnewt-perl -- Perl bindings for Erik Troan's newt text-mode windowing toolkit

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of libnewt-perl, Stephen Zander <gibreel@debian.org>,
is apparently not active anymore.  Therefore, I orphan this package
now.  If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: Perl bindings for Erik Troan's newt text-mode windowing toolkit
 Newt is a Perl library built on top of Erik Troan's newt C library for
 text screen widgets.  It allows a Perl programmer to build simple but
 effective text-mode user interfaces with little effort.
 .
 It is very usable because it has complete support for all widgets found in
 newt 0.50, and provides a nice abstraction over the C interface.
 .
 Install the libnewt-dev package also if you want to read the tutorial
 "Writing Programs Using newt" by Erik Troan.

Subject: Bug#279798: fixed

Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 08:07:58 +0000

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

libnewt-perl |    1.08-10 | source, hurd-i386
libnewt-perl | 1.08-10+b1 | alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.

Packages are never removed from testing by hand.  Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 279798@bugs.debian.org.

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
ftpmaster@debian.org.
