[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#812787: RM: tabix -- ROM; Binary is provided by a different source package

[Andreas Tille]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

the binary tabix is provided for most architectures by the htslib source
package.  This does not build for all architectures and thus the source
package tabix provides the binary tabix for architectures armhf mips
powerpc s390x.  We are considering this more confusing than helpful and
for practical reasons it is no real constraint to miss this package on
these architectures.

So please remove the source package tabix from Debian.

Kind regards and thanks for your work as ftpmaster

      Andreas.
