Dear Paul, dear ftpmasters,

@Paul:
thank you for controlling this bug: reassigning it, adding moreinfo tag,
retitling it.

You are writing below that I should update the bug, "until then the bug
can be tagged as moreinfo".

But I fear that this bug is already tagged moreinfo.

@all:
I probably misunderstood something, so I beg your pardon if the next
lines are not appropriate.

To sum it up, my request was to remove the package algotutor from
unstable and testing, because during a recent check, I could not run
algotutor right like explained in the packaged documentation. Now it has
been removed from testing, and I am discovering that it can remain in
unstable:

I am checking it again; I discover that algotutor is working as
announced when the working directory is /usr/share/algotutor (which was
not clearly documented).

So, the removal of algotutor from testing is correct, since it cannot be
used by a random user who reads the manual page right now. However, the
removal from unstable is not necessary: I will fix the documentation to
make it clear how to run examples, and push a new version when Buster
will become the new stable release.

Best regards,                   Georges.
