Hi,
The package crypt++el was removed from the archive without talking to
the maintainer. He was just in the process of preparing fixes and making
a new update. The bugreport against ftp.debian.org arrived Mon, 14 Jan
2008 11:00:34 +0100 and the package was removed only some hours later
Mon, 14 Jan 2008 21:51:54 +0000.
I was the former maintainer of this package and use it extensively. So
when came aware of the removal I contacted the maintainer and he told me
all about it and that he just had not the energy to pursue the matter.
I am really astonished the ftpmaster removes a package on such a short
notice and without talking to the maintainer.
Please reinstall the falsely removed package. We try to get the
outstanding issues resolved as soon as possible.
Christoph
PS: I filed an ITP to get it back into Debian too (481082). But it
should be really just reinstalled.
