Re: Removing Packages in Slink for Debian 2.1



Hi!

> perl              27604  Perl @INC needs /usr/lib/perl5 [7]  (Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>)
> perl              27738  perl: @INC does not contain /usr/lib/perl5 [0]  (Darren Stalder <torin@daft.com>)

This doesn't affect the current perl version but the version to be
used in 2.2.  However you're right, that we cannot ship 2.1 without
perl.

The following are packages I feel we can remove:

> balsa             27726  balsa cannot be run [0]  (olet@debian.org (Ole J. Tetlie))
> balsa             27894  balsa is linked against ancient version of gtk [0]  (olet@debian.org (Ole J. Tetlie))

Will be fixed tonight (promised by maintainer).  Also a new upstream
version is about to arrive.

gnome-gnothello   27405  gnome-gnothello doesn't run here [10]  (James LewisMoss <dres@debian.org>)

Closed now.

gnus              25609  Gnus: prerm script failure make it impossible to upgrade/pruge  [64]  (Michael Alan Dorman <mdorman@debian.org>)

We should not ship without although it's technically not essential.
We'd better find somebody to fix this bug.  MAD, what's up?

kdebase           23655  kdebase includes /etc/X11/Xsession [118]  (Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>)
kdebase           25903  kdebase doesn't include rights to distribute kvt [56]  (Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>)
kdebase           25974  kvt creates ~/.kde with root as owner and insane permissions  [55]  (Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>)
kdegraphics       25627  kdegraphics violates copyright [63]  (Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>)
kdelibs0g         24643  kdebase: We have no licence to distribute KDE binaries when linked against Qt [90]  (Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>)
kdemultimedia     25628  kmultimedia violates copyright law (and debian policy) [63]  (Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>)
kdeutils          25630  kdeutils copyright problems [63]  (Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>)

Whoops, this get's somewhat rediculous.  At first we remove KDE due to
ethical / legal reasons.  Now we're removing the remaining package due
to technical reasons.

yagirc            24747  yagirc: Binary and Libs for yagirc stored in /bin and /lib [87]  (davidw@efn.org (David N. Welton))

Davide isn't maintaining this package anymore.  Ole, are you taking
care of this one, too?

Regards,

	Joey
