<h01ger> hi - do you know that python-cjkcodecs is uninstallable in etch? 
Setting up python-cjkcodecs (1.1.1-2+b1) ...
<h01ger> pycentral: pycentral pkginstall: python-cjkcodecs needs unavailable 
runtime (2.3)
<h01ger> just saw that this is #398039 (normal)
<buxy> it should probably be removed because it's useless with python 2.4
<buxy> h01ger: much like python-iconvcodec and #398899 (same kind of mia 
maintainer), I suggest you increase the severity and ask its removal
<buxy> (after checking in the changelog that it effectively only provides 
something useful for python2.3)
<h01ger> sorry, i wont have time for that (checking) today, monday monday... 
and customer project needs to be done tomorrow. if you want, i can cut&paste 
this discussion to -release@...


regards,

  I can confirm that, this package is no longer useful for python2.4 (as
it's integrated in the official modules now).

Subject: Bug#401675: fixed

Date: Tue, 09 Jan 2007 10:01:45 +0000

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

python-cjkcodecs |    1.1.1-2 | source, hurd-i386
python-cjkcodecs | 1.1.1-2+b1 | 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was superseded by another one.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 401675@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.
