For reference: The removal bug against echoping was https://bugs.debian.org/1002897 and ultimately the removal was on 2022-01-02, according to https://ftp-master.debian.org/removals-2022.txt > Please remove this dependency (as it violates Debian policy §2.2.1, see > https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#the-main-archive-area) Since echoping is optional in smokeping and I'm glad to confirm that package otherwise does what it's supposed to do, the fix is trivial, so here we go: Dear maintainer, to fix the issues with this package, I've prepared an NMU for smokeping (versioned as 2.7.3-4.2), debdiff below. An upload to DELAYED/5 will follow shortly. Please feel free to tell me if I should delay it longer. Regards, Christoph
