Description: Portable Forth Environment, ANS standard, all wordsets.
 PFE (Portable Forth Environment) is a programming environment for the
 programming language Forth.
 .
 PFE is based on the ANSI Standard for Forth.  It has been created by
 Dirk-Uwe Zoller and is now maintained by Guido Draheim at Tektronix.
 Tektronix has made a number of extensions: PFE is now fully
 multithreaded and you can load additional C objects at runtime to
 extend the Forth dictionary.  It is best targeted for embedded
 environments since you can easily exchange the terminal driver and
 the initialization routines.

Subject: Bug#363497: fixed

Date: Sun, 24 Sep 2006 01:42:03 -0700

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

       pfe |  0.33.34-6 | ia64, powerpc, sparc
       pfe |  0.33.34-7 | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, hurd-i386, i386, m68k, mips, mipsel, s390
   pfe-dev |  0.33.34-6 | ia64, powerpc, sparc
   pfe-dev |  0.33.34-7 | alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, hurd-i386, i386, m68k, mips, mipsel, s390
   pfe-doc |  0.33.34-7 | all

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was superseded by another one.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 363497@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.
