Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hello,
the following packages list is a closed set of packages (no external
dependencies outside of the set):
yum createrepo python-lzma yum-metadata-parser mock yum-utils dtc-xen deltarpm
they are part of what it used to be the redhat packages set in Debian. they have
been long abandoned upstream (replaced by dnf, still not packaged for Debian
yet) and they are all still python2 only with no upstream support (so also no
hope to get them ported to py3k).
dak confirms there are no issues removing them, and you can read additional
discussion about them (and other packages) in #936806
```
