Severity: serious
Justification: No permission to distribute

Hi,

The wxwidgets2.5 source package was due to be removed shortly
(in a slightly more orderly fashion) and replaced by the 2.6 release,
cf. #305300

Serious problems with the licence of some files in the 2.5.3.2 package
have since been found that can't wait for that and this package should
now be removed asap.

The wxwindows2.4-2.4.2.6 packages in testing are also subject to this,
though the 2.4.2.6.1 upload (see #306013), should push them out now as
soon as the buildd's catch up and well meaning idiots stop filing
duplicates of #305300 wrongly against the 2.4 packages.

This is going to mean yanking a bunch of dependent packages, but
none of these were slated for Sarge (and all of this should have
stayed in experimental if people didn't want ! x86 ports handed
to them prebuilt), and I'll take any heat from the maintainers of
those.  Most should be pretty aware the switch to 2.6 was close
at a minimum.

I'm trying to get a viable replacement together for them now.

So, in summary:

Please remove the wxwidgets2.5 source package entirely.

wxwindows2.4-2.4.2.6.1 has the offending files removed and should
replace 2.4.2.6 without affecting any dependent packages.  The m68k
buildd seems to be the biggest hurdle remaining for that now.

thanks,
Ron
