Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: serious Dear ftp masters,
please remove the db2latex-xsl package. This is not a RoM, but there doesn't seem to be any active maintainer or anyone who is interested in the package; the Maintainer field of the package lists a mailing list, Debian XML/SGML Group <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. At least I'm the last uploader, 10 months ago. The reasons for the removal have mainly been outlined in http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2006/10/msg00539.html there is also some more information in the bug in the Cc, #327616. In short: It is RC-buggy with a DFSG violation, it is dead upstream, there's a nearly drop-in replacement, dblatex. Meanwhile, cdbs - which was the only package that used it - has been changed to use dblatex instead. Consequently, no package depends on it in unstable (and cdbs has been hinted to enter testing, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2006/10/msg00631.html). The involved release managers also agree with the removal, see e.g. http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2006/10/msg00632.html Regards, Frank -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (99, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- Dr. Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
