Last maintainer upload 2013 (trivial bugs accumulated since),
gone from testing since 2024-04 (GCC-14 FTBFS).

Upstream is dead, the last time it remotely existed was

popcon inst=5 (vote=1 old=4), peak vote=80 in 2012.

Hi,

can you please stop filing random RM bugs without even trying to contact
the maintainer? This is just a waste of time and only increases the
burden of others.
Why do you want to invent another workflow for doing such removals, when
better ones already exist? For example the one from Helmut is much more
transparent, gives everybody enough time to react and immediately gives
all information needed to process such bugs.

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

  sbox-dtc | 1.11.7-1.1 | source, amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, mips64el, ppc64el, s390x
  sbox-dtc | 1.11.7-1.1+b1 | riscv64

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoQA; not in testing, unmaintained, ~0 popcon, dead upstream
----------------------------------------------

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 1090977@bugs.debian.org.

Hi Thomas,

could you please confirm whether sbox-dtc can be removed or whether it rather
should be maintained in some team on Salsa?

Kind regards
    Andreas.
