Do you think I should re-add it to python-lzma? I'd bet that this long unattended Python2 package will most probably not cause any real wish for debugging - for sure I might be wrong.

I sneaked in some packaging relevant information (python-lzma packaging) to take the freedom to ask some OT-question (without marking it OT). Your hint to libarchive was helpful.

Removing a binary package (python-qwt3d-qt4)
Hi list I have a problem with my package pyqwt3d. It did contain the binary package python-qwt3d-qt4 but I removed it and replaced it with python3-qwt3d-qt5. The old binary package seems to exist somewhere and stops the package from entering testing. See: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pyqwt3d I did add Package: python3-qwt3d-qt5 Conflicts: python-qwt3d-qt4 Replaces: python-qwt3d-qt4 but it did not help. I don't find the solution in the Policy manual. Can anyone help me? Regards Gudjon
