Dear ftp-masters,

please remove ming from Debian unstable, it has been unmaintained by
respective maintainer since 2010 and orphaned since then.  It's also
RC-buggy and has several security issues.

Cheers,
Ondrej

Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Build-Depends:
gnash: libming-dev
       libming-util

This will have to be resolved first.  Please remove the moreinfo tag once 
these build-deps have been addressed.

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; orphaned; RC-buggy; security
----------------------------------------------

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 846133@bugs.debian.org.

The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/846133

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
ftpmaster@ftp-master.debian.org.
