After running a few scripts of my own, I've discovered quite a few packages I have installed that are now completely absent from all Debian distributions.
Further processing of the Packages files showed that some of the vanished packages were from unstable and got replaced by newer versions, and others because new packages appeared that supplied identical functionality and Conflicted/Relaced them away. There are however a number of these packages for which I cannot find, on my system and within the package management system rationale, any reason for disappearing, such as: gnotepad+-help 1.2.0-3.1 kfilereplace 0.6.1-8 libjsw1.2 1:1.2.0-1.2 liblua4 4.1-alpha-4 liblualib4 4.1-alpha-4 libstlport4.0 4.0-0.1 moonlight 0.5.3-6 task-c++-dev 0.5 task-devel-common 0.5 task-tcltk-dev 1.0 xfonts-pex 4.1.0-17 My question is: is there some place (debian webpage, mailing-list archive, ...) I can check to find out whatever reasons were given for their removal from Debian? Is this a question better suited for debian-devel ? Maybe I'm splitting hairs here, but I like to feel in control of the machines under my care :) -- Carlos Sousa http://vbc.dyndns.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
