Re: Marked For Autoremoval: How can we help? :)
Well, an interesting thread. The package which concerns me which was on that list is "trn" a usenet news-reader. I sure hope it won't be removed! Meanwhile will these also be removed from Debian SID, which I run on my desktop. As an anoying side note, on my laptop, I am in testing, but when running an update, it wants to remove mpv. Is their some command I can type to foce it from wanting to remove mpv? I would be running SID on this laptop, but the sound stops working after the final boot after an installation. Strangely the backspace beep works in SID but not in testing. So seeming its a choice among a beep and not sound verses sound with no beep. Thanks so much in advance for any guidance. Chime

Yes, it's really not specific to accessibility, basically all packages got the mail because of a script that got overzealous. That is fixed now. SAmuel

These mails are not sent to this list. They are sent to pkg-a11y-de...@alioth-lists.debian.net If you do not want to get these emails, you can unsubscribe from that list: https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-a11y-devel Samuel

In this particular case, please don't. There was autoremoval mail sent for every package in Debian because of a bug in the software that calculates autoremoval. Let's let things settle and not worry about auto removals for things that aren't getting removed.

Hi Cindy and all, Caveat: I am not running Testing, actually no running Debian at all. This being said, I think that the best thing to do is feed the bug thread you mentioned, highlighting the consequences for users of Testing relying on a11t software, thus how important and urgent it is to fix it. As an aside, I consider Thomas (author of Xorriso among others) as the Booting Guru. He is always very helpful.

Re: Marked For Autoremoval: How can we help? :)
On a somewhat related note, is there a way to stop getting e-mails from Debian autoremoval, FTP master, bug tracking etc. without affecting my subscription to this and other Debian mailing lists? It's a bit tedious sifting through my inbox to trash them and then going through my trash to delete them, and not only are my own technical skills not up to par to help with anything these, presumably automated, messages are talking about, I wouldn't even know where to ask outside the Debian mailing list network to bring eyes and ears on the problems. Or failing a way to stop getting such e-mails, a way to force Gmail's basic HTML view to treat all messages from a specific sender as part of the same thread or to do a select all(either in general or for a specifici sender)?

Marked For Autoremoval: How can we help? :)
Happy Day! Testing and autoremovals got a quick brush-by today (2022.05.28) over at Debian-User. That just caused me to pull all those emails back out of trash from May 26. There were 71 that hit my own inbox. As soon as I saw espeakup, this felt like something critical. Upon second look today I noticed the list also includes fenrir, edbrowse, and orca, high traffic topics from this list. Thomas Schmitt mentioned this nvidia-graphics-drivers bug over at the Debian-User's thread [0]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1011268 Is that about the best place to point to when asking if anyone has special skills to help knock that out? Per Thomas, addressing that will affect about a zillion packages beyond those from Accessibility. Thank you for any feedback! My skills have yet to progress so my hope is reach out into the Internet's social media once I know how to ask for help without treading on anyone else's efforts.
