Actually it got removed from wheezy in the mean time. Since it was marked that way in dla-needed.txt, I pinged the ftp.d.o bug report and pinged Chris Lamb (as ftp assistant) and the package is gone from wheezy: $ rmadison libnet-ping-external-perl libnet-ping-external-perl | 0.13-1 | oldstable-kfreebsd | source, all https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libnet-ping-external-perl Cheers, > On 17 December 2017 at 20:28, Ola Lundqvist <o...@inguza.com> wrote: > > Hi > > > > I agree that it may not be the best to remove it then.
