Subject: ftp.debian.org: RM: libdatetime-astro-sunrise-perl -- ROM: obsolete developer snapshot, maintained alternative is in the archive

Date: Tue, 01 Aug 2017 18:19:22 -0400

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

as reported to us by upstream and a couple users, this Perl module:

1. "was just a proof of concept and which had an active life of just
   4 days before becoming obsolete";
2. is affected by many bugs that were fixed after it was renamed (and
   the new versions are available in Debian, with their new name,
   since at least Wheezy).

So we (pkg-perl) would like to remove it from the archive.

Cheers,

Subject: Bug#870431: Removed package(s) from unstable

Date: Sun, 06 Aug 2017 04:59:40 +0000

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

libdatetime-astro-sunrise-perl |  0.01.01-3 | source, all

------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM: obsolete developer snapshot, maintained alternative is in the archive
----------------------------------------------

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 and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.

Packages are usually not 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. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.

We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 870431@bugs.debian.org.

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
