Hi

Cc'ing in particular Dominic if he wants to raise an objection.

Crypt::DSA is deprecated and should actually not be used anymore, has
security issues (which though got fixed so far).

I propose to still keep libcrypt-dsa-perl out of testing and not to
get included in forky. If Dominic agrees maybe even already remove it
from unstable/testing. There are no issues with the removal itself:

,---- [ dak rm --suite=unstable -n -R libcrypt-dsa-perl ]
| Will remove the following packages from unstable:
|
| libcrypt-dsa-perl |     1.21-1 | source, all
|
| Maintainer: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
|
| ------------------- Reason -------------------
|
| ----------------------------------------------
|
| Checking reverse dependencies...
| No dependency problem found.

And there is low and sinking popcon usage:
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=libcrypt-dsa-perl

Salvatore

No concerns on my side; despite being in the Uploaders list, I don't recall any particular use case.

Hi Dominic,

Ok thanks for the feedback. I will request removal from unstable now.

Salvatore
