Once again, a link from packages.qa.debian.org reveals this information. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=400948 By the way, I did find this link, http://ftp-master.debian.org/removals.txt it seems to list all removed packages with corresponding bug numbers. Isn't this what you were looking for? -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
