There's your error. What you want here is a removal from unstable. Then the package should migrate to testing just fine, and the old swi-prolog-java binary will be gone from testing on mips once the new swi-prolog migrates. ftp-masters don't handle removals from testing/stable/oldstable, that's done by the release team, so I'm not sure why reportbug has that in the template... maybe it should redirect the bugs to release.debian.org if you choose one of those suites... > Please enter the reason for removal: FTBFS > Is this removal request for specific architectures?

BTW I'm not sure if it should be: "RM: $binarypkgs [$archlist]", but that makes more sense for partial removals... > Spawning sensible-editor... > No changes were made in the editor. > Report will be sent to Debian Bug Tracking System <sub...@bugs.debian.org> > Submit this report on ftp.debian.org (e to edit) > [y|n|a|c|E|i|l|m|p|q|d|t|s|?]? q > Saving a backup of the report at > /tmp/reportbug-ftp.debian.org-backup-20170216-20180-_uoez_jz > Bug report written as /tmp/reportbug-ftp.debian.org-20170216-20180-p0d5a_n5 > > -=-=-=- > > And here is what it outputs: > > $ cat /tmp/reportbug-ftp.debian.org-20170216-20180-p0d5a_n5 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > From: Lev Lamberov <dogs...@debian.org> > To: Debian Bug Tracking System <sub...@bugs.debian.org> > Subject: RM: swi-prolog [mips] -- ROM; FTBFS > Bcc: Lev Lamberov <dogs...@debian.org> > > Package: ftp.debian.org > Severity: normal > > (please explain the reason for the removal here) > > Note: this was a request for a partial removal from testing, converted > in one for unstable > > -=-=-=- > > What do you think, should it be reported as a bug in reportbug? If one ftp team member confirms it should be "RM: $binarypkgs [$archlist]" for partial removals, then yes. Let's see what they say. Cheers, Emilio
