Hello world, Following packages should disappear from testing/woody (but not from unstable/sid) with the next mirror run: circlepack | 4.0.1-3 | source, alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc dstool | 2.0-4 | source, alpha, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc treetool | 2.0.2-1 | source, alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc xvmount | 3.6-10 | source, alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc (uninstallable: depends on xviewg which needs a rebuild to cope with X4) ditributed-net | 2.7018.401-1 | powerpc distributed-net | 2.7106-7.1 | source, alpha, i386, sparc (uninstallable on all but ppc; depends on libnss-compat which is no longer available; fixed versions are in sid for some arches) locale-ja | 18 | source, all locale-vi | 1-5 | source, all locale-zh | 0.9+0.05-5 | source, all (uninstallable; versioned conflicts with libc) kterm | 6.2.0-19potato2 | source, alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc (uninstallable; depends on locale-ja) mxmaps | 1.0-7 | source, all (uninstallable; depends on xmap-{s,d}motif, which aren't available) task-chinese | 0.7 | source task-chinese-s | 0.7 | all task-chinese-t | 0.7 | all (uninstallable; waiting for new zh-autoconvert) wmppxp | 0.51.0-2 | source, alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc (uninstallable; waiting on updated ppxp (which no longer builds) that doesn't depend on old xpm libs) abiword | 0.7.7-1 | source, alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc (RC bug #74882; the latest packaged version may fix this, but it suffers from other RC bugs) base-config | 0.43 | source, alpha, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc (RC bug #79336; fixed in unstable) fetchmail | 5.5.3-1 | source, alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc fetchmailconf | 5.5.3-1 | all (RC bugs #69983, #75287, #76663, #85096 against fetchmail; RC bug #69005 against fetchmailconf; some of these may be able to be downgraded or closed) lilo | 1:21.6-2 | source, i386 lilo-doc | 1:21.6-2 | i386 (RC bug #81342, amongst others; don't appear to be fixed in unstable) smail | 3.2.0.111-5 | source, alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc (RC bugs #69165, #66595; smail was pulled from potato for these, shouldn't have appeared in testing at all :-/. It's also orphaned, so no fixes in unstable) libforms0.86 | 0.86-5 | source, i386 libforms0.86-altdev | 0.86-5 | i386 (Unused; doesn't work with X4) metro-motif-lib | 2.0-2 | source, all metro-motif-demobin | 2.0-2 | source, all metro-motif-bin | 2.0-2 | source, all metro-motif-devel | 2.0-2 | source, all metro-motif-demosrc | 2.0-2 | source, all metro-motif-man | 2.0-3 | source, all (-lib and -demobin depends on xpm4.7, -bin and -devel depend on -lib -demosrc depends on -devel, no point keeping -man around if all the others go away) communicator-base-47 | 4.7-14 | i386, powerpc communicator-nethelp-47 | 4.7-14 | all communicator-smotif-47 | 4.7-14 | i386, powerpc communicator-spellchk-47 | 4.7-14 | all navigator-base-47 | 4.7-14 | i386 navigator-nethelp-47 | 4.7-14 | all navigator-smotif-47 | 4.7-14 | i386 netscape-base-47 | 4.7-14 | i386, powerpc netscape-java-47 | 4.7-14 | all netscape-smotif-47 | 4.7-14 | i386 netscape4.7 | 4.7-14 | source ({communicator,navigator,netscape}-base-47 on i386 depend on xpm4.7 and thus don't work with X4, all the rest go along with it as from the same source package) netscape3 | 3.04-8 | source, i386 (also depends on xpm4.7, and also doesn't work with X4) If/when these packages are fixed, they should automatically get returned into testing -- the above certainly doesn't mean any of those packages won't make it into woody by the time it's released. OTOH, if they're not going to be fixed the maintainers probably need to request their removal from unstable (file a bug against ftp.debian.org). This leaves woody's uninstallability count at: i386: 18 packages alpha: 38 packages sparc: 43 packages m68k: 80 packages arm: 151 packages powerpc: 164 packages For reference, the unreleased architectures in sid look like: mips: 401 packages hurd-i386: 897 packages (mips, mipsel, sh, hppa and ia64 don't have any non arch: all uploads at the moment) The testing scripts' guesstimate at how many RC bugs testing still has after this is around 250. There are 505 RC bugs all up (including virtual packages like ftp.debian.org and packages that are only in sid, not woody).
