Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 10:08:32 +0100 (CET)

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: important

Hi,

Could you please remove the obsolete libapache-mod-php5 5.2.0-10+lenny1
from security.debian.org in the lenny suite?

This is important because it keeps confusing users: libapache-mod-php5
(the Apache 1.3 version) has been removed since lenny, but it keeps being
available from the security archive. However, this is an obsolete version
which is hence also not kept up to date with security fixes; people must
migrate to libapache2-mod-php5.

I think this is a symtom of #464045, however, removing this package by
hand swiftly is in my opinion preferred over waiting for that bug to be
resolved.


thanks!
Thijs

Subject: Bug#516707: fixed

Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:13:51 +0000

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

libapache-mod-php5 | 5.2.0-10+lenny1 | alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, 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 (security.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (security.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was superseded by another one.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 516707@bugs.debian.org.
