Subject: RM: gal0.x -- RoQA; orphaned, obsolete GNOME 1 package, no significant revdeps

Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 13:40:41 -0400

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

This is an obsolete GNOME 1 package.

Reverse depends are
* gnucash; version in testing no longer uses this
* gtkhtml; basically unused, removal has been requested
* libgtkhtml-perl; basically unused, removal has been requested
* gpredict: Latest upload to unstable does not use this: see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/09/msg00261.html.

So gal0.x can and should be removed from unstable.

And gabber... and gabber2 isn't ready yet for release. Interestingly,
only a build-dependency though, not a runtime dependency.

What's with that?

Subject: Bug#387489: fixed

Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2006 11:38:29 -0700

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

    gal0.x |     0.24-8 | source
libgal-data |     0.24-8 | all
libgal-dev |     0.24-8 | alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
  libgal23 |     0.24-8 | alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, 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was superseded by another one.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 387489@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.

Weird.  That's why I didn't catch it, I usually don't look for
Build-Deps which aren't Deps.

Very good question.  Might be spurious.
