Hello Helge,

I apologize for the delay in getting to this bug.  Two things have been
holding up a fix to this.  First, four of my five alpha machines are
currently inoperable, so I'm having a hard time maintaining these
packages.

Second, I have been awaiting a reply from Compaq/HP contacts on
whether/when we might get permission to distribute the libraries with
the Debian packages (putting them in non-free), and the encrypted
compilers too, removing the need to download either one.  Since it's
been several months now, and I've bugged them a couple of times, I think
it's time to give up on pursuing that.

I'll see if I have time to upload a fix in the next week or two, and if
not, will concur with your recommendation to remove these packages.
