Looks like removal would be fairly straightforward; the only package currently affected is "golang-github-docker-go", which could just as well stop using patching and just use the pre-patched copy of encoding/json embedded in upstream's source (since refreshing _upstream's_ patches for Go 1.7 likely isn't worth the effort for such a minor package IMO). For reference: $ ssh mirror.ftp-master.debian.org dak rm -Rn golang-1.6 Will remove the following packages from unstable: golang-1.6 | 1.6.3-2 | source, all golang-1.6-doc | 1.6.3-2 | all golang-1.6-go | 1.6.3-2 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, ppc64el golang-1.6-src | 1.6.3-2 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386, ppc64el Maintainer: Go Compiler Team <pkg-golang-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org> ------------------- Reason ------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Checking reverse dependencies... # Broken Build-Depends: golang-github-docker-go: golang-1.6-go golang-1.6-src Dependency problem found. ♥, - Tianon 4096R / B42F 6819 007F 00F8 8E36 4FD4 036A 9C25 BF35 7DD4
