Subject: libdb2-ruby: Please consider dropping this package

Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2005 23:13:15 -0500

Package: libdb2-ruby
Severity: wishlist

libdb2 is incredibly obsolete, and this is one of only three packages
left in Debian which depend on it.  Please consider dropping this package;
any sane person will want to use libdb3 or libdb4.2 or libdb4.3 instead.

Please don't recommend db3.  We'd like it to die as well.

Subject: Bug#344725: fixed

Date: Mon, 01 May 2006 11:28:08 -0700

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

libdb2-ruby |    0.5.4-1 | source
libdb2-ruby1.6 |    0.5.4-1 | alpha, arm, hppa, hurd-i386, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
libdb2-ruby1.8 |    0.5.4-1 | 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was superseded by another one.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 344725@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.
