Bug#522770: RM: cle -- ROM; dead uptream; buggy; better alternatives available

[Lionel Elie Mamane <lionel@mamane.lu>]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove package cle from unstable / testing; source and
binaries. It is dead upstream (no release since 1999), and since I
uploaded it to Debian better alternatives have appeared (such as
rlwrap).

Some Debian-local work has been done in the rather distant past to fix
bugs in it, but they never converged to something that works well in
all cases: when trying to get one program to work, it breaks
others. As far as I know, rlwrap does not share any of the bugs of any
version of cle, making it a strictly better alternative; it is what I
use myself now.
