Subject: ftp.debian.org: RM: lsh -- RoM; buggy, dead upstream, namespace conflict

Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2005 12:17:48 +0900 (JST)

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove the lsh package (which is different from the lsh-utils package).
* It is buggy; it says it is a shell but even the "cd" built-in does not work
  as expected (it does not change the working directory to a "different
  drive".)
* The upstream of lsh is dead; the upstream webpage returns a "not found"
  error and the search on google or freshmeat does not help.
* It has the same name as the GNU GPL'd implementation of the Secure Shell
  protocol version 2 (the lsh-utils package), which is what people mean
  when they talk about "lsh".  The maintainer of lsh-utils is not happy
  with this namespace conflict.

Subject: Bug#338763: fixed

Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2005 15:50:09 -0800

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

       lsh |     0.70-8 | 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was superseded by another one.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 338763@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.
