Subject: phluid: contains non-free font

Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 19:56:53 +0100

Package: phluid
Version: 0.0.3.2+cvs.20020210-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1

phluid contains the non-free font "National First Font", which contains
the following copyright statement:
"Freeware - Copyright [c] - Roger White - 1994 - All Rights Reserved."

Without license this font Debian is not allowed to distribute this font,
and thus it should be removed. To get a replacement, you can depend on
ttf-bitstream-vera, ttf-freefont, or one of the other free fonts
packaged in Debian.

Subject: request for phluid's removal from the archive

Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2005 21:26:44 +1000

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

reassign 298937 ftp.debian.org
retitle 298937 RM: phluid -- unused, dead upstream and contains non-free fonts
thanks

please remove phluid from the archive, it is unmaintained upstream, contains
non-free fonts in the src, and is unnecessary.
Cheers,
-Thom

Subject: Bug#298937: fixed

Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2005 11:28:07 -0400

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

    phluid | 0.0.3.2+cvs.20020210-2 | source, alpha, arm, hppa, hurd-i386, 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was superseded by another one.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 298937@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.
