Control: tag -1 + pending Hi Ole,
thanks for the review of my plan and patch.

Additionally, I've also checked "apt-rbdepends libplplot-ada1-dev" and "apt-rbdepends libplplot-d". The former yielded nothing, the latter found this: ~ → apt-rbdepends libplplot-d Package: cl-plplot Package: gnudatalanguage Package: psfex Package: scamp But these were all false positives (checked with "fgrep --color") as apt-rbdepends seems to do substring matching and all cases were dependencies on libplplot-dev, matching without the "ev" at the end. > Therefore, I would support removing them until there is a fix for > them. Ok, I'll prepare an NMU based on the patch I posted in my last mail. > There are quite a few packages directly or indirectly depending on > plplot, so it would be worth to make compromises to get it working > again. I've just re-read https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu and it seems as if I had more restrictive rules in mind. Since this RC bug is open for about 6 weeks now without maintainer reaction, a direct (0-day) NMU is allowed according to these rules. So I'll probably upload directly to get all the plplot reverse dependencies back into testing as soon as possible.
