Removing a binary package (python-qwt3d-qt4)

[Guðjón Guðjónsson]

Hi list

I have a problem with my package pyqwt3d. It did contain
the binary package python-qwt3d-qt4 but I removed it and
replaced it with python3-qwt3d-qt5.

The old binary package seems to exist somewhere and stops the
package from entering testing. See:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pyqwt3d

I did add
Package: python3-qwt3d-qt5
Conflicts: python-qwt3d-qt4
Replaces: python-qwt3d-qt4
but it did not help.

I don't find the solution in the Policy manual. Can anyone help me?

Regards
Gudjon

I sneaked in some packaging relevant information (python-lzma
packaging) to take the freedom to ask some OT-question (without
marking it OT).  Your hint to libarchive was helpful.

Thank you

Andreas.

OK, noted for the future.  Do you think I should re-add it to
python-lzma?  I'd bet that this long unattended Python2 package
will most probably not cause any real wish for debugging - for
sure I might be wrong.

Kind regards
