Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
I've had a look into the problems behind #688738 and the broken fix for
#688738 which causes #694138.
As outlined in #688738, the original RC bug (shipping and committing to
a subversion repository in /usr/share) was a specific instance of the
docbookwiki package writing to /usr/share during installation. The
"fix" for #688738 does not fix the problem (it merely puts the modified
files in /usr/share under a symlink pointing to /var/ and then allows
other files in /usr/share to still be modified). The broken fix also
directly causes the second RC bug: #694138.
I've spotted upstream problems in the management of the internal SVN
repository as well as the problems introduced for the fix.
There has been no comment on the broken fix for #688738, nor on #694138
and I do not see a sane route to fixing the package properly without
rewriting large sections of management code in the package, both upstream
and Debian.
Please remove docbookwiki from Debian.
thanks.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
docbookwiki | 0.9.2-6 | source, all
------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; Broken fix for RC bug makes package uninstallable, modifies files in /usr
in postinst
----------------------------------------------
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 and will not propagate to any mirrors (ftp.debian.org
included) until the next dinstall run at the earliest.
Packages are usually not 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. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.
We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.
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
