Subject: RM: kdesudo -- ROM; Deprecated upstream and superseded by kdesu

Date: Sat, 9 Sep 2017 15:30:12 -0500

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Package: kdesudo
Severity: serious

kdesudo still uses Qt 3 libraries (with the Qt 4 compatibility layer)
and has not seen upstream commits since 2011. It's superseded by kdesu,
which is Qt 5 and works fine.

kdesu has seen several CVEs, and in my opinion, it's more of a liability
to keep kdesudo than to keep it. It should also be removed because of
the Qt 4 removal in Buster.

Subject: Bug#875107: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Sun, 10 Sep 2017 16:19:12 +0000

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

   kdesudo |  3.4.2.4-2 | source, hurd-i386
   kdesudo | 3.4.2.4-2+b1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x

------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; Deprecated upstream and superseded by kdesu
----------------------------------------------

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 875107@bugs.debian.org.

a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
