Hi Robert, thanks for your quick response. So, doi I see this correct and can I say: There is an automatismn for a package removal, which will be interrupted, when the maintainer is responding within a period of time and the reason for the removal was eliminated (i.e. fixed a bug or uploaded a newer version). Whenever a maintainer does nothing, the package got to be removed, when its dependencies inmtefere with other dependencies, but is left, when its dependencies do not harm anything. Can I say so?
And did I understand you correctly: Using unstable or stable is better than to use testing? If I understood this correctly, then the logical result would be, that testing has to expect more trouble (for users) than stable or unstable, Most users I am supporting are using stable, but some are using testing. Should I advise them to upgrade tu unstable? Best Hans
