Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hi,
fastx-toolkit is officially abandoned by upstream since 2017.
>From the fastx toolkit readme:
https://github.com/agordon/fastx_toolkit/blob/master/README#L7
* FASTX TOOLKIT is unmaintained software. *
* No new features have been added since 2010. *
* *
* There are many better alternatives for low-level FASTQ/FASTA *
* manipulation. Use at your own risk.
Due to bug #925745 of its predependency libgtextutils the Debian Med
team decides to better remove this package. It is droped from the
Recommends in med-* metapackages in Git so after the next upload of
the metapackages the dependency relations will be removed.
Kind regards
Andreas.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
fastx-toolkit | 0.0.14-6 | source, amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386,
mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x
------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; Unmaintained usptream: There are many better alternatives for low-level
FASTQ/FASTA manipulation. Use at your own risk
----------------------------------------------
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 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].
The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/945984
This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
