Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi

Please remove phonon-backend-xine from the archive.

It is dead upstream
it is broken for users of Amarok
It is buggy
Upstream wants us to get rid of it. They're tired of reports about it

Alternatives (phonon-backend-gstreamer and phonon-backend-vlc) exists
and are better and upstream supported

/Sune

Subject: Bug#656920: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:11:48 +0000

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

phonon-backend-xine | 4:4.6.0really4.4.4-4 | source, amd64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, s390x, sparc
phonon-backend-xine-dbg | 4:4.6.0really4.4.4-4 | amd64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, s390x, sparc

------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; buggy, dead upstream, alternatives exists
----------------------------------------------

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.

We try to close Bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically.  But please check all old bugs, if they where closed
correctly or should have been re-assign to another package.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 656920@bugs.debian.org.
