Package: fw4spl Severity: serious Justification: blocks-transitions Dear maintainer / ftp-masters,
fw4spl is RC buggy with 5 bugs: #797475 fw4spl: does not support parallel build #797481 fw4spl: FTBFS - Doesn't support boost 1.58 #809935 fw4spl: FTBFS with libpng16 #820632 fw4spl: depends on vtk 5 #821957 fw4spl: Depends on insighttoolkit, which is about to be removed. Please port to insighttoolkit4 With the first two filed August 2015; both of them did not receive any response from the maintainer, though extra triggered again by Andreas in December. (The other two bugs do not ahve a response too, but they are only a few days old) The package blocks the boost, libpng and vtk transitions. As it is now blocking other packages, I raise the question if it should be removed from Debian. Please response to this bug, if there is no response within a week, I will reassign this bug to ftp.debian.org. Please note, that if decide to keep it, you need to fix your pacakge ASAP. The removal of libpng1.2 will NOT wait for root-system, and when removed, at least the binary packages must go with it. (Which can lead to src removal) Thanks for your understanding, -- tobi -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
