libglade2 was superseded in 2007, the upstream project had its most
recent commit in 2010 before it was archived in read-only status, and
reverse-dependencies in Debian were reminded to port away from it by a
mass-bug-filing in 2018. It was excluded from trixie, and only has three
surviving rdeps. I think it's long past time to say goodbye to it.

"Request of maintainer" on behalf of the GNOME team.

In the unlikely event that someone wants it back for whatever reason,
libglade2 and its three remaining rdeps haven't been touched since
bookworm, so a hypothetical prospective maintainer could pick them up
from there.

Thanks,

------------------- Reason ------------------- ROM; obsolete, long-dead upstream, not in trixie ---------------------------------------------- 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 1110865@bugs.debian.org. The full log for this bug can be viewed at https://bugs.debian.org/1110865 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.
