The source was removed, the binaries are still there:
wpasupplicant | 1.0-2 | testing | amd64, armel, armhf, i386,
ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, s390x,
sparc
wpasupplicant | 1.0-2 | unstable | amd64, armel, armhf, i386,
ia64, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, s390x,
sparc
They're built from the "wpa" source package now, as packages.d.o (or
sources.gz) will show.
However, I do not really understand why, as no hint was mentioned.
That generally means that the source package has become obsolete (i.e.
all of its binary packages have been taken over by other source
packages), so britney has automatically removed it. Indeed, that's
exactly the reason that shows up in ftp-master's removal log for
unstable:
Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2012 10:10:08 +0000
Ftpmaster: Luca Falavigna
Suite: unstable
Sources:
wpasupplicant_0.7.3-6
Reason: [auto-cruft] obsolete source package
Now with the freeze in place, what options are available to still
have WPA
support in wheezy?
Exactly the same options as before?
