Hi all, I noticed the autoremoval message about emboss-explorer, and before attempted to fix the issue, I just checked if the package still works, as I have not used for a decade or more…
It turns out that it is broken: after installing it, visiting http://localhost/emboss-explorer leads to Not Found errors in the two served frames. This is probably fixable, but if nobody has reported the problem until now, it suggests that nobody is using the package, isn't it? Indeed, its popcon vote score is very close to zero. I admit that I have no idea of how much of a security issue it is when emboss-explorer is installed on a machine, as it automatically serves the pages to other machines on the same network, but frankly speaking, I am much more scared by this now than in 2007 when we created the package… I wonder if it is better to remove the package from Debian now? Have a nice Sunday!
