Erm, you should have tagged it so, but you're right. My problem is the following: * links-ssl was removed because of licence conflict, so I probably should not upload links-ssl current, since it violates OpenSSL licence. * I probably should not update links-nossl into links-ssl for obvious reasons (people would kill me for losing SSL). * Upstream probably wouldn't give a s--t to find a 3 years old bug in the code and just fix that (while it was fixed probably 3 years ago). I don't have the resources to find it myself and patch it. So, either you find someone fixing this bug in the 2002 april code of links (while uploading it is still dubious), or propose something along the DFSG and policies. I am completely clueless, I guess it shouldn't be just "removed" from woody (as it was from sid) since it doesn't yet have elinks as a replacement. Uploading elinks instead of links-ssl may be not a very nice move either as the old links and current elinks happen to differ pretty much everywhere. And the main problem is that I do not have the time to run this question through debian mailing lists and debate many smart people about just anything. If you (or someone else) come up with a solution which is acceptable by our community standards, please tell me and I'll try to do it (apart from the fact that I can not fix the problem in the code unless someone throws a patch at me).
