Thanks for the report; I agree with the removal.

[Note for future, the right approach is to file a bug against the
package first before requesting removal.]

The smallest quantity of bread that can be sliced and toasted has yet
to be experimentally determined. In the quantum limit we must
necessarily encounter fundamental toast particles which the author
will unflinchingly designate here as "croutons".

Bug#1029597: Login is broken and URLs do not work

[William Desportes]

Package: fetchyahoo
Version: 2.14.7-1
Severity: serious
Tags: sid bookworm

The package does not work at all because the URLs are redirected and the login 
form structure changed. 

I tried to fix it but I did not succeed. 
The code uses some weird html manipulation to find inputs even if it depends on 
an html parsing library. Library this is difficult to use and did not make me 
able to fix the package.
