Package: linux-image-3.8-1-sparc64-smp
Version: 3.8-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Linux kernel ver 3.8 for sparc64-smp is no longer available in any
Debian repositories:

# apt-get install linux-image-sparc64-smp
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-image-sparc64-smp : Depends: linux-image-3.8-1-sparc64-smp but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
# apt-get install linux-image-3.8-1-sparc64-smp
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package linux-image-3.8-1-sparc64-smp is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'linux-image-3.8-1-sparc64-smp' has no installation candidate

The 3.8 kernel package for sparc was also known by the name
linux-image-3.8-trunk-sparc64-smp in experimental. Searching on
Google still shows stale links that refer to this package.
What happened?

Cheers,

Mitch Halmu

Indeed.

Please don't open bugs on 'missing' packages that are just waiting for
the auto-builder.  They are just a waste of maintainers' time.
