Bug#1030085: RM: bcolz -- RoQA; Package went unmaintained upstream and it now fails to build from source



Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: ftp.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: remove
X-Debbugs-Cc: bcolz@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:bcolz

The bcolz maintainers declared that the package is unmaintained.

https://github.com/Blosc/bcolz

bcolz's single non-meta pacakge dependency was dask, and the dask developers
declared bcolz deprecated.

https://github.com/dask/dask/issues/8330

And now bcolz has started failing to build from source because of changes in
numpy.

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=bcolz&suite=sid

We should probably just remove it.
