Bug#822243: calligra: RM calligra [ANY] -- RC-buggy, FTBFS, blocks removal of no-longer-built packages
Source: calligra
Severity: serious
Justification: blocks removal of cruft / completion of transitions
Hi,
I know, calligra is a very diffult package to maintain, but unfortunatly it has
4 RC bugs which prevents it to be rebuilt and therefore blocks several packages
to be removed -- to complete transitions.
At the moment, according to #806454 and #817945 is not even installable, and
according to [1] the current and a prospective new maintainer has currently no
time.
Therefore please consider to remove the *binary* packages from sid to help
untangle things:
- glew
- gsl
- hdf5
- and removal of libpng 1.2
Please resond to this bug or -- if you agree -- reassign it to ftp.debian.org.
If there is no respone within a week, I willl reassign it accordingly.
(The RM bug will remove only the binary packages, source should be kept if not
decided otherwise by the ftp-masters)
Please note that latest when we file for libpng1.2 removal, this needs to be resolved,
otherwise we will ask ftp.debian.org to remove calligara together with libpng1.2
Thanks!
