--- Begin Message ---Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:p7zip User: [email protected] Usertags: remove Hello ftp-master team, I am opening this bug to request removal of p7zip from debian unstable. remove src:p7zip which builds p7zip and p7zip-full binary packages remove src:p7zip-rar which builds p7zip-rar binary package p7zip was created long ago as a posix port of the famous 7zip tool, but wasn't updated since 2016 upstream. Eventually, 7zip made an official linux version, and in debian trixie p7zip became a transitional package to 7zip, and 7zip Provides p7zip. There is no chance p7zip will become active again, it is fully replaced by 7zip. All dependencies on p7zip have bugs filed for over a year, with patches provided to change the control file. Trivial NMUs are possible. There has been no maintainer activity in these bugs. android-framework-23: https://bugs.debian.org/1063811 android-libunwind: https://bugs.debian.org/1063544 crunch: https://bugs.debian.org/1063555 kinect-audio-setup: https://bugs.debian.org/1063582 kissat: https://bugs.debian.org/1099368 megaglest: https://bugs.debian.org/1063593 qnapi: https://bugs.debian.org/1063614 runescape: https://bugs.debian.org/1063616 spring: https://bugs.debian.org/1063805 The broken depends and build-depends in dak output can be ignored, because once the real p7zip package is removed, 7zip provides p7zip. Debian stable has already been released with p7zip as a transitional package, so the packages already build with 7zip. ``` dak rm -nR p7zip Will remove the following packages from unstable: p7zip | 16.02+transitional.1 | source, all p7zip-full | 16.02+transitional.1 | all Maintainer: Robert Luberda <[email protected]> ------------------- Reason ------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Checking reverse dependencies... # Broken Depends: android-platform-external-libunwind: android-libunwind [amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 mips64el] kinect-audio-setup/contrib: kinect-audio-setup megaglest: megaglest qnapi: qnapi runescape/non-free: runescape # Broken Build-Depends: android-framework-23: p7zip-full android-platform-external-libunwind: p7zip-full spring: p7zip-full Dependency problem found. ``` I am not the maintainer of p7zip. I tried to contact the maintainer of p7zip over email, without success.

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: p7zip | 16.02+transitional.1 | source, all p7zip-full | 16.02+transitional.1 | all ------------------- Reason ------------------- RoQA; replaced by 7zip ---------------------------------------------- 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/1111327 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
