Package: debian-edu-config Version: 2.11.14 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, The pacparser source package is unmaintained and RC buggy. As a result, I have asked to have it removed from Debian (Bug #952963). debian-edu-config depends on libpacparser1. It is the only rdepend. If libpacparser1 is not important to debian-edu, please drop the depends to the removal can proceed. If it is important to debian-edu, please take over maintenance of the package. I can provide a debdiff to drop the python2 bits from the package. I was preparing an NMU to do so when I realized how hopelessly out of date the packaging is (compat = 5). It won't be long before it either has to be removed anyway due to the package breaking or someone will have to re-invest the time in seriously modernizing it. If no one is interested (and there's no sign of it so far), I think it's better to just remove it. Please let me know your preference. At some point we'll probably need to go ahead with the rm of pacparser to keep the python2-rm process moving. Scott K
We definitely need libpacparser1 (rather "pactester") in Debian Edu. Or something similar.
Please put your removal request on hold or drop it entirely. I am happy to invest some time in this.
Or do you know of an alternative way to analyze wpad files?
