Package: ftp.debian.org
As can be seen at http://bugs.debian.org/w3-el-e21, the w3-el
package has been accumulating bugs over time that make it less
and less useful for real-world bug browsing. Some of these bugs,
it seems to me, would require an active upstream developer to
fix, but w3-el is unmaintained upstream, to the point that there
has been no new release since 2001.
w3m-el is a more usable alternative web browser for Emacs.
Please remove w3-el from the archive.
There is some discussion of w3-el removal in Bug#506725.
Also: once w3-el is removed, there is no longer any need for the
w3-url package, an Emacs library in the same situation as w3-el,
and whose sole reverse dependency is w3-el. (If I need to file a
separate removal request for w3-url, let me know.)
Thank you!

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
w3-el-e21 | 4.0pre.2001.10.27.nodocs-5 | source, all
w3-lisp-e21 | 4.0pre.2001.10.27.nodocs-5 | all
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.
Packages are never removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.
Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System. Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to [email protected].

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
