Bug#853750: hdfview: HDF5 files appear empty

[Sergey Spiridonov]

Package: hdfview
Version: 2.11.0+dfsg-2+b1
Followup-For: Bug #853750

Hi! Just wonder, why the bug severity is "important" and not "grave" or
"critical". Hdfview is not working at all!

If package released in "stable" stretch, it is expected to work somehow,
isn't it?
Debian is famous for its stability, so removing non-working package is
better than keeping completely broken one... It took me some time to
realize that Debian released completely non-working package.

Removing the broken package will save time to others.
