Let's look a bit further at those bugreports.. > 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)) A new balsa has already been uploaded (0.4.6-1), I think that fixes these bugs. > gnus 25609 Gnus: prerm script failure make it impossible to upgrade/pruge [64] (Michael Alan Dorman <mdorman@debian.org>) Removing that will make a _lot_ of people really angry I think.. > htdig 25412 htdig: htdig ignores config file stuff/absolute pathnames compiled in [70] (Gergely Madarasz <gorgo@caesar.elte.hu>) > infocom 21478 infocom: Integrating infocom interpreters [175] (Brian White <bcwhite@pobox.com>) > jdk1.1 27097 jdk1.1: error in installing jdk1.1: links are in a mess [18] (Stephen Zander <gibreel@debian.org>) > jdk1.1 27330 jdk1.1: Files should be conffiles [12] (Stephen Zander <gibreel@debian.org>) > jove 27219 jove: Jove wants /usr/tmp [14] (Loic Prylli <lprylli@graville.fdn.fr>) > junkbuster 25258 junkbuster: junkbuster has security holes [74] (Paul Haggart <phaggart@debian.org>) > kaffe 20980 kaffe: kaffe depends on jdk-common [186] () > 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>) Needles to these have been removed. > knfs 27250 knfs (remote root exploit) [14] (Anders Hammarquist <iko@debian.org>) Is that actually in slink? It also has a security problem which has not been fixed yet, but I seem to remember knfs is still in experimental. > mozilla 27181 mozilla dumps core [15] (Debian QA group <debian-qa@lists.debian.org>) That seems to be a problem with library versions: for some people mozilla works fine (for me for example), for others it dumps core on startup. We might want to investigate that further. > netatalk 25598 netalk: several problems (and the solution) [64] (Joel Klecker <jk@espy.org>) Looking at the bugreporttitle there already is a solution, so removing this should not be necessary. > pcmcia-modules-2 27395 pcmcia-modules are totally broken out of the box [11] (Brian Mays <brian@debian.org>) > pcmcia-source 26657 pcmcia-source: Needs this patch to work on 2.1.118+ kernels [32] (Brian Mays <brian@debian.org>) 27395 is more of a local problem iirc, 26657 should be easy to fix, since the patch is already supplied. Besides, removing pcmcia will also break the boot-floppies, so we can't really remove these. > strace 26065 strace confused about sigaction flags [51] (Wichert Akkerman <wakkerma@debian.org>) Let's keep this one :) > yagirc 24747 yagirc: Binary and Libs for yagirc stored in /bin and /lib [87] (davidw@efn.org (David N. Welton)) yagirc has just switched maintainer and a new package was uploaded, so this might already have been fixed. > > Again, please let me know if you feel differently. If I don't hear otherwise, > I'll be removing all of those packages in the list directly above to be > removed from slink during the freeze. > > Note: the above lists are made directly from the bug logs. I haven't > actually correlated them with the list of packages that actually exist. > If a package listed above has already been removed from the distribution, > don't worry about it. Again, I offer my help with the bugscripts, since my scripts do check if a package is still available.
