It should be good to go: xotcl got fixed in xotcl (1.6.8-4) unstable; urgency=medium * Remove the aolserver4-xotcl package since aolserver4 is to be removed from Debian And a simulated removal also works fine, I'm removing the moreinfo tag: Cheers, Moritz $ ssh mirror.ftp-master.debian.org "dak rm -Rn aolserver4" Will remove the following packages from unstable: aolserver4 | 4.5.1-18.1 | source aolserver4-core | 4.5.1-18.1+b1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x aolserver4-daemon | 4.5.1-18.1+b1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x aolserver4-dev | 4.5.1-18.1+b1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, ppc64el, s390x aolserver4-doc | 4.5.1-18.1 | all Maintainer: Francesco Paolo Lovergine --- Reason --- -- Checking reverse dependencies...

Package: aolserver Version: 4.5.1-18.1 Severity: serious Justification: network-facing service, appears unmaintained upstream User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: proposed-removal Turning this into a proposed-removal bug.

This looks fairly dead to me, and unless its maintainer knows better, I don't think there is going to be any upstream security support. It has also not been uploaded since an NMU that went into stretch, so if it's removed from unstable, it will be trivial for prospective users or maintainers to retrieve it from stretch. If you want to keep this package around in Debian, please close this bug. If not, please send the following commands to cont...@bugs.debian.org, replacing nn with this bug's number: severity nn normal reassign nn ftp.debian.org retitle nn RM: aolserver4 -- RoQA; unmaintained upstream, alternatives exist, low popcon thanks (or replace RoQA with RoM if you are the maintainer) For more information, see http://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals http://ftp-master.debian.org/removals.txt Regards, smcv
