#1093420 RM: gnome-bluetooth -- RoQA; successor available; leaf package

libgnome-bluetooth13,  libgnome-bluetooth-dev,  gnome-bluetooth-common
and src:gnome-bluetooth are superseded versions of essentially the same
codebase as src:gnome-bluetooth3 (libgnome-bluetooth-3.0-13 and associated
packages).

The only packages outside this source package that
still depend on libgnome-bluetooth13 are budgie-core and
budgie-control-center. If possible, those packages should migrate to using
libgnome-bluetooth-3.0-dev and/or libgnome-bluetooth-ui-3.0-dev (I'll
report bugs and make them block this one). Or, if budgie specifically
needs libgnome-bluetooth13 for some reason, then the Budgie maintainers
will need to take responsibility for libgnome-bluetooth13.

gnome-bluetooth is a transitional package now and does not depend on the old package.

Control: reopen -1
Control: reassign -1 src:gnome-bluetooth 3.34.5-8

This does not contradict my bug report. The fact that gnome-bluetooth.deb
is a transitional package depending on gnome-bluetooth-sendto does not alter
the fact that the upstream code contained in src:gnome-bluetooth is an
unmaintained library that has been superseded by src:gnome-bluetooth3.

We should remove this unmaintained upstream code from Debian, but at the
moment we cannot, because budgie-control-center (#1059485) and budgie-core
in unstable (#1059486, fixed in experimental) still have dependencies on it.

Control: severity -1 serious
The reverse deps are gone. Please keep this out of trixie and consider filing a RM bug.

Thanks, I'll wait for the budgie packages to reach testing and then
ask the ftp team to remove this.

------------------- Reason ------------------- RoQA; successor available; leaf package ---------------------------------------------- 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 1093420@bugs.debian.org. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/1093420 This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing ftpmaster@ftp-master.debian.org.
