Package: countrycodes Version: 1.0.5-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
This package, which is apparently very loosely maintained is currently providing outdated and possibly misleading data. The ISO-3166 codes have changed since last updates and no update for the package came to correct this. See also #492014 for misleading data. In parallel, the iso-codes packages is providing up-to-date lists with the ISO-3166 maintenance agency data used as reference. I think that, as is, this package should not be shipped with lenny but either be completely dropped from the archive is noones wants to maintain it, or modified to avoid using an internal reference list but rather iso-codes' XML data (and then have the package depend on iso-codes). Please note, in the meantime, isoquery came out, which allows using iso-codes data for either ISO 639, 3166 or 4217. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages countrycodes depends on: ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries countrycodes recommends no packages. countrycodes suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
