Hi
I was working on a security update for tmsnc, a textbased msn client. When I
tried to test the update, I found out that the program is not able to connect
to MSN servers anymore due to a protocol missmatch. I assume that the program
needs a newer MSN protocol to work again. There are several msn clients in
debian stable and since this package is unusable as is, I would like to
request its removal from debian stable on the next point release. The package
was already removed from testing/unstable, because it was abandoned upstream
and superseeded by the fama program (which I guess could be made available
via backports.org).
I got an ACK from the maintainer for this.
Cheers
Steffen

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from stable:
tmsnc | 0.3.1-1 | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.
Packages are never removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.
Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System. Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to 514262@bugs.debian.org.
