Preliminary note: I am not these package's maintainer. I was trying to resolve this issue with my "proven packager" hat on and found these packages to be in a situations, I can't help much. > Depends on how you want to resolve this.

From what I can gather in libglfw/f15, my guess would be, the original maintainer has hit the limitations of his skills and has given up. > then there are two more steps to do: > - retire host3d F16 branch in pkgdb > - file a ticket with the rel-eng trac to have host3d blocked in koji > for F16+ > > Blocking it in koji will get rid of the rpms in the rpm repos. > > See the Package End of Life instructions at: > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/PackageEndOfLife My proposal would be someone with appropriate privileges to add the missing libglfw/f16 branch. (Modulo the freeze) this would allow to resolve the broken deps issue for f16. Still, another question remains: How could dead packages make it into rawhide?
