Hi,
I'm the maintainer of "tom", an experimental programming language. The
archives contain a version from October 1999. Trying to recompile it now
on a sid machine fails.
Upstream development on this implementation was already dead, as they

Maybe we did, but I can't read apt-cache output because this version
comes simply from unstable.
So no ifs and whens, it's already done and it works.

People,
The fact that there even exist two debian versions of mutt should tell
you that it was an issue for people. Looking through the changelogs, I
see that mutt was moved to non-US in Feb. 1997:
mutt (0.61.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
* Now non-US. (Bug #7257)

Does anyone know where killall went? procps_1.2.2-1 doesn't seem to

something along the lines of

Looking at utmp.h, it doesn't seem that much work to make a proper perl
extension for utmp handling.
I might even try to do it myself. No promises though.

and use #!/usr/bin/perl5.004 where necessary. Debian can't protect user
written code from breaking.
Preventing other debian packages from breaking can be done without
