Sorry, I was first distracting myself running the test against noble which showed rev-deps (rust style build deps)
./checkrdepends --no-ports --include-provides --suite noble --archive-base 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu' rust-skeptic -- noble/universe build deps on librust-skeptic-0.13+default-dev: rust-pyo3-file librust-skeptic-0.13+default-dev -- noble/universe amd64 deps on librust-skeptic-0.13+default-dev: librust-err-derive-dev librust-skeptic-0.13+default-dev librust-pyo3-file-dev librust-skeptic-0.13+default-dev But you are right, against plucky even the provides and build-deps are safe (returns none) The argument in Debian is sound, unless maintained or needed (or better both) this shouldn't be in the archive. ./remove-package -m "LP: #2104538, ROM; inactive upstream, no more rdeps" -s plucky rust-skeptic Removing packages from plucky: rust-skeptic 0.13.7-4 in plucky librust-skeptic-dev 0.13.7-4 in plucky amd64 librust-skeptic-dev 0.13.7-4 in plucky arm64 librust-skeptic-dev 0.13.7-4 in plucky armhf librust-skeptic-dev 0.13.7-4 in plucky ppc64el librust-skeptic-dev 0.13.7-4 in plucky riscv64 librust-skeptic-dev 0.13.7-4 in plucky s390x Comment: LP: #2104538, ROM; inactive upstream, no more rdeps Remove [y|N]? y 1 package successfully removed. ** Changed in: rust-skeptic (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2104538 Title: Remove rust-skeptic from Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-skeptic/+bug/2104538/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
