did you *actually* check why? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=718309 it is because python-irc and python-irclib are the same upstream module. the reason python-irc is orphaned is because Daniele gave up most of his packages back then. >> both are outdated, so which one are you planning to remove?

Adding Thomas to this thread, maybe he can explain a bit more. -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi
