Bug#555325: gq: version 1.3.4 completely unusable
clone 555325 -1
severity -1 normal
reassign -1 release.debian.org
retitle RM: gq/testing; orphaned, broken upstream release
user release.debian@packages.debian.org
usertag -1 + rm
thanks
After a few crashes the first minutes I threw away all ~/.gq* files and
directories. I tried to add a new server. Impossible to enter the bind
dn. It simply forgets it. On the first search it crashes. I have seen
about 10 crashes in the very few first 10 minutes. This is completely
unusable. This version should never have been transferred to testing
IMHO. In this state it is better to remove gq completely.
Agreed. This package is in quite a bad shape, mostly because latest
upstream release (albeit recent) is fubar. The last package maintainer
gave up for this reason, and because he was not willing to fix all
outstanding issues on the Debian side. As long as either a maintainer
step in (which is willing to do that) or upstream releases a decent
version, the package is quite useless.
The most reasonable course of action from the Debian POV is to remove
the package from testing.
Can you please do so?
Cheers.

Bug#555325: gq: version 1.3.4 completely unusable
Package: gq Severity: normal I cannot confirm this bug on amd64-unstable. GQ is running smoothly for quite some time. I have been able to add a new server, connect to it and authenticate using kerberos and sasl. Only the settings for the bind address do not appear in the preferences after the next start. But for me anything works.

Bug#555325: gq: version 1.3.4 completely unusable
Package: gq Version: 1.3.4 Severity: grave Debian testing on an amd64: After a few crashes the first minutes I threw away all ~/.gq* files and directories. I tried to add a new server.

This version should never have been transferred to testing IMHO. In this state it is better to remove gq completely. Workaround: get the sources from the oldstable repository, recompile it and downgrade to 1.0.
