Package: ftp.debian.org

We want to remove libpng12 from Debian.

The transition to libpng16 recently completed and now libpng12 is out of
testing, next step is to finish the transition in sid (where possible)
and eventually remote libpng12 completely and have only on libpng
version.

We are now down to a handful of binaries still referencing libpng, that
IMHO should just be broken:

# Broken Depends:
emacs24: emacs24 [hurd-i386]                                # FTBFS 822237
         emacs24-lucid [hurd-i386]
faumachine: faumachine [amd64 i386]                         # RM 821874

          xemacs21-mule-canna-wnn [kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386]
          xemacs21-nomule [kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386]

# Broken Build-Depends:
root-system: libpng12-dev                                   # RM 822085



I can't think of any reason to hold the removal more, those FTBFS can be
fixed later, and they are only on non-release architectures anyway.

Subject: Bug#822318: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Fri, 13 May 2016 23:59:53 +0000

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

    libpng |   1.2.54-6 | source
libpng12-0 |   1.2.54-6 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
libpng12-0-udeb |   1.2.54-6 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
libpng12-dev |   1.2.54-6 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; superseded by libpng1.6
----------------------------------------------

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 and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall 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 were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 822318@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
