x52pro has been neglected after its initial maintainer upload and a single NMU in 2011. x52pro | 0.1.1-2.1 | wheezy | source x52pro | 0.1.1-2.1 | sid | source It has no rdepends in either wheezy or sid. It can be installed and removed in wheezy without problems. It is uninstallable in sid and therefore has been removed from testing. (#767675) But here comes the problem: It cannot be removed from jessie or sid if it was installed in wheezy and thereafter the system was distupgraded. (#773147) This is likely caused by the maintainer script calling udevadm which seems to have changed behavior ... I would suggest the following: * reintroduce the packages libx52pro0 and libx52pro-dev as dummy packages into jessie: no files, no scripts (or only empty scripts if needed for smooth upgrades - to have the new script succeed after the old one failed) * there will be a clear upgrade path, this ensures the bad old scripts are gone and the dummy packages can be removed from jessie without problems * a (new) RC bug will be filed against the (soon to be) crippled package in sid to keep it out of stretch If this seems acceptable, I can prepare the dummy packages and send a debdiff.
