Subject: Obsolete package: functionality has moved to perl-modules

Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2008 22:58:28 -0500

Package: libfile-temp-perl
Version: 0.20-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

        As of perl 5.10, this functionality is now provided in
 perl-modules, and thus this package is obsolete, and should be
 removed from the release.  Since this package does not exist in
 stable/oldstable, there will be no upgfrade issues.

I'm not the libfile-temp-perl maintainer, but please note:

- perl-modules has provided libfile-temp-perl since 5.6.1. See #98977.
- perl-modules currently only has File::Temp 0.18, so
  libfile-temp-perl provides a newer version (0.20)
- there are two packages with versioned dependencies (that aren't
  satisfied by a Provides field) on libfile-temp-perl:
  * Package: svk
    Depends: [...], libfile-temp-perl (>> 0.17)
    Build-Depends-Indep: [...], libfile-temp-perl (>> 0.17)
  * libpar-perl: bogus version 0.05 in the dependency, filed as #497170

While there's probably no need to have a newer File::Temp as a separate
package, both svk and libpar-perl need to be changed first and I don't
think this should be considered release critical.

I think it would be desirable to fix this issue before lenny. Only two 
packages need to make a minor change to their dependencies. That change 
yields us the advantage of not having to support two copies of the same code, 
code that is security sensitive in nature. Especially because etch never had 
the package to begin with, introducing it into a supported stable release 
without a clear need is not something I think we should be doing.

I'm willing to do the work on updating svk and libpar-perl*, if the 
maintainers are unavailable for that.

reopen 497130
thanks

Hi,

        Since an obsolete package bug on one package can't really be
 closed by uploading a different package, I suspect this bug was closed
 accidentally.

        Thus, reopening.

And obsolete is never RC.

        The severity was under advisement from a release wizard.

        Secondly, duplicating code is indeed a serious bug, be it a C
 library or a Perl library.

Hi,

libfile-temp-perl can now be removed from unstable, as any depending packages 
have been updated and it's no more present in lenny.

Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2008 22:35:04 +0000

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

libfile-temp-perl |     0.20-1 | source, 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 497130@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.
