Please remove gtkdialog from the archive: it is not supported anymore by
upstream and we have better alternatives in the archive.

Thanks,
Fabio

Sorry, but the package radare depends on gtkdialog.  The dependency
would need to be resolved first.


Best regards,

Hello Sebastian,

are you interested in taking over the maintenance of gtkdialog? I asked
its removal, because I don't use it anymore and we have similar software in
the archive, but radare depends on it.

What shall we do?

Thanks,
Fabio

Hello Fabio,

I will ask radare's upstream author to remove dependency on gtkdialog.
I guess it doesn't make much sense to keep it in the archive with just
radare using it, so I'm not interested in taking over maintenance of
it.

Subject: Bug#543945: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Tue, 08 Dec 2009 17:03:15 +0000

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

 gtkdialog | 2:0.7.20-4 | source, alpha, amd64, armel, hppa, hurd-i386, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoM; unmainatined, better alternatives libraries
----------------------------------------------

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 usually not 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. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.

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was superseded by another one.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 543945@bugs.debian.org.

The full log for this bug can be viewed at http://bugs.debian.org/543945

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
