Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

In oldstable and stable, oolite (<= 1.65-7) and oolite-data (<= 1.65-3)
source packages are each producing a binary package, the former depending
on the latter.

In unstable, both binary packages are produced by the oolite (>= 1.74-2)
source package.

Version 1.65-3 of oolite-data is not affected by any bug. The only packages
in unstable that depend on it are produced by the new oolite source and
specify that they need a strictly newer version.

If I understand well
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#removing-pkgs,
the oolite-data source package should have been removed semi-automatically.
The oolite-data binary name conflict may explain why this is not detected.

All this could be considered mostly harmless but… I am a Debian Maintainer
with the DMUA field for oolite, sponsored by the Ludovic Brenta
<lbre...@debian.org>. My uploads to unstable are rejected with the
following message.

Removing the obsolete source package from unstable should allow me to
upload.

Thanks.
