Subject: RM: atokx -- RoQA; unmaintained, broken, depends on legacy libs, mostly unused, NPOASR

Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:40:23 +0100

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove atokx. It's
- unmaintained (last upload from Aug 2007, no followup for nearly a year to RC #478434)
- broken (installation fails: #478434)
- just an installer package, similar package for the newer version is in
  the archive (atokx2)
- depends on legacy libs (GTK/GLIB 1.2)
- never part of a stable release

Cheers,
        Moritz

I'm maintainer of "atokx" package.
I want you to remove this package from archive for a same reason.
This software is too old to use.

Thanks,

Subject: Bug#517125: fixed

Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:17:15 +0000

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

     atokx |     1.0-22 | source, i386

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was superseded by another one.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 517125@bugs.debian.org.

The full log for this bug can be viewed at http://bugs.debian.org/517125

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.
