Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: important
Hi, Just recently a security problem was found in all MaxDB versions (see bug #461444). This problem cannot be easily fixed. In addition, MaxDB has gone closed source again starting with version 7.6 and there will be no more updates to the open source version in Debian. Therefore -besides the current security problem for which I do not have a fix- it does not make sense to try and keep fixing a version that becomes more and more outdated with no prospect of ever being able to upgrade to a more recent version. There are a few dependent packages that need to be removed as well: libdbd-maxdb-perl php-maxdb (both(depend on libsqldbc75 from the maxdb-7.5.00 package) The following packages will not be updated by upstream any more either, so they can go as well: maxdb-doc maxdb-buildtools libsapdbc-java The maxdb-7.6.00 package is from the time version 7.6 was still supposed to be open source. The package just made it into experimental and should be removed, too. Thanks for your help and best wishes, Martin. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
