Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

In https://bugs.debian.org/920119 I intended to adopt the package
agrep.  But during research what upstream sources to use, I noticed,
that most upstreams are dead and the Debian glimpse package already
contains a copy of agrep.

So I adapted the patches in different agrep sources to the glimpse
package and Alexander Zangerl merged these patches into his official
glimpse package and added "Provides: agrep" to the package.

In parallel I changed ding, the only package, which reverse depended
on agrep (via Suggests), to "Recommends: glimpse" instead of
"Suggests: agrep".

So from my point of view, it would the easiest way to simply remove
agrep from the archive in sid and bullseye, since it is no longer
needed.
