Hi!
Please remove pmdk-convert. It can be used only to upgrade on-memory data
from old releases of pmdk which haven't even been in Debian. While pmdk
itself stays, it has managed to avoid format compat breakages that would
require offline manual conversion for quite a long time. And the fancy
structures have been used only for high-level stuff that has been just
killed upstream. Other stacks that have been built atop pmdk don't use
that -- and in the very unlikely case a conversion would be needed in
the future, we can revive the package. For now, though, it has been killed
upstream -- and considering flaws in its design, I'd rather rewrite the
converter from scratch.
Thus: please send pmdk-convert to the great bit bucket in the sky.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
pmdk-convert | 1.7-1 | source, amd64, arm64
------------------- Reason -------------------
ROM; useless, killed 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 1029...@bugs.debian.org.
