gnome-chemistry-utils requires Mesa's libosmesa, which was removed in
2025 (Mesa 25.1.0) and is no longer available. The most recent version
of Mesa that still built libosmesa used llvm-toolchain-19, so this is
one of the factors keeping llvm-toolchain-19 in unstable.
The most recent maintainer upload of gnome-chemistry-utils was in 2021
and there have been three NMUs since then. The most recent upstream
release was in 2018.
Its only reverse-dependency appears to be gfsview, for which I requested
removal in #1147651 - if the ftp team goes ahead with removal, then that
one will need to be processed first.
As with gfsview, if these packages are still desired in Debian, I think
the only way to provide them would be to introduce the equivalent of
Ubuntu's src:mesa-compat (a separate source package containing an
outdated version of Mesa that only builds the libraries that were
subsequently removed upstream), after which these packages could be
re-introduced; but in the absence of someone introducing and maintaining
that package, I think it's time to remove these.
(This was prompted by packages that directly or indirectly depend on
llvm-toolchain-19 being proposed for autoremoval from testing.)

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; unbuildable since removal of libosmesa
----------------------------------------------
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].
