Hi, I was wondering what the best way to proceed with the removal of the long-deprecated libmd5-perl module is.
In July I opened several bug reports for packages still depending on libmd5-perl of which about half have been resolved. Still remaining are: - pop3browser, Recommends: libmd5-perl, but does actually not use it. See #539011. - libopensrs-perl: #539010, has an (untested) patch - (gnudip: #539002, has been removed from unstable) I also filed a bug for pilot-link which Suggests: libmd5-perl, see #558596. hearse also has libmd5-perl as an alternative dependency, but I'm not sure if we should file a bug report for that or not. What is the best way to proceed? I would increase the severity of the bug reports for packages depending on or recommending libmd5-perl to important with a note that we will soon ask for removal of libmd5-perl. After two weeks, we could ask for removal of libmd5-perl from unstable and then raise the severity to serious as the packages would no longer be installable or violate policy (recommending a package not in main).
