--- Begin Message ---Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal User: [email protected] Usertags: remove Control: affects -1 + src:ksh93u+m Hi Please remove the binary package ksh (arch: all) from unstable. ksh was a transitional shim package built by src:ksh93u+m for the purpose of pulling ksh93u+m during the transition from ksh->ksh93u+m. As of ksh93u+m 1.0.10-5 the source no longer builds it, so the binary is now NBS. src:ksh93u+m itself remains and is unaffected, only the orphaned ksh binary should be removed. The transition is complete and the shim has shipped in bookworm and trixie. ksh93u+m carries a "Provides: ksh" so the "apt install ksh" continue to resolve to ksh93u+m. No versioned reverse dependencies on the ksh name is present - verified with reverse-depends, so the unversioned Provides satisfies all remaining consumers. thanks, Anuradha

--- Begin Message ---We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following package(s) have been removed from unstable: ksh | 20240113-1.0.10-4 | all ------------------- Reason ------------------- NBS; transitional package dropped from src:ksh93u+m ---------------------------------------------- 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. 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 Please check all open bugs and close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package was superseded by another one. The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal can still be found using https://snapshot.debian.org/. 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/1140441 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing [email protected].
