Subject: perl-transition: perl-5.004-suid dummy package still needed

Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 01:16:42 +0200

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

Package: perl-transition
Version: 6.3

The 'perl-5.004-suid' package is present in sarge and was previously 
present, unchanged, in charge. However, this is a dummy transition-only 
package (for potato?). Is there any reason this package should still exist 
in the distribution? If not, please remove the 'perl-5.004-suid' package 
creation from the perl-transition package.

Regards

Javier

Right.

FTP masters:

The perl-transition source package was used to clean up the perl-<ver> mess
in the potato -> woody transition.

Should not be required for upgrades to sarge, and according to Steve
Langasek potato -> sarge is only supported by upgrading through woody.

Please remove perl-transition from unstable and testing.

Subject: Removed perl-transition from unstable

Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 02:56:59 -0400

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

perl-5.004 |        6.3 | all
perl-5.004-base |        6.3 | all
perl-5.004-debug |        6.3 | all
perl-5.004-doc |        6.3 | all
perl-5.004-suid |        6.3 | all
perl-5.005 |        6.3 | all
perl-5.005-base |        6.3 | all
perl-5.005-debug |        6.3 | all

perl-5.6-suid |        6.3 | all
perl-transition |        6.3 | source

Reason: RoM; Obsolete potato->woody transitional package

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was superseded by another one.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 the just-closed bug (or by
replying to this mail if there is no bug closed).

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.
