Bug#1123784: RM: poppassd -- RoQA; FTBFS, orphaned, upstream vanished, insecure
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: ftbfs
X-Debbugs-Cc: poppassd@packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:poppassd
User: ftp.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: remove
Dear FTP masters,
please remove poppassd. It FTBFS with gcc-15. It is likely we could
patch it up, but after 20 years of patching in Debian I think we can
also let it go.
It is orphaned in Debian since 2021. The last maintainer upload was
in 2010, the last upstream release in 2005.
It runs as root, and exposes a password change interface over
a plaintext protocol, ... I really don't think we should be shipping
this in forky.
Many thanks,
Chris
