Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove libafs-perl from the archive for at least the time being.
It has not been in stable for some time, and is no longer installable
due to the Perl migration.

This module uses AFS libraries which rely on LWP threads, but Perl in
Debian is built with POSIX pthreads.  The resulting collision of
threading concepts causes constant serious problems and only ever works
by accident.  Significant upstream OpenAFS work is required to convert
all libraries to POSIX pthreads, at which point this module can be
reintroduced sanely.
