Thanks for contacting me. I agree, let's remove ProbABEL from Debian,
completely. The package is no longer actively maintained and I have
neither had any support requests, nor public bug reports in the last
year, maybe two.

Thanks a lot for your opinion.  For the moment I decided to exclude all
architectures with failing tests and ask ftpmaster to remove the other
architectures.  In addition I've added a warning to README.Debian about
the current status and that this package might be removed in the next
Debian release.  Hope that can be considered a sensible compromise.

Kind regards
     Andreas.

Hi,

probabel fails its test suite for some architectures[1].  I reported
this upstream and got the response[2]

@lckarssen Shall we ask if they remove Probabel from the Debian project as a package? Since there is no workforce to maintain the software, it is better not to use it. ( so also distribution and installing is not a good idea)

Popcon is low[3] - but that's not unusual for our packages.

I see two options:

   1. Remove probabel for the failing architectures only
   2. Remove probabel completely from Debian

What do you think?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
