Bug#946586: RM: herwig++ -- RoQA; FTBFS, dependencies FTBFS, indirectly depends on gcc-7

[Simon McVittie]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: herwig++ at packages.debian.org
Control: block 932051 by -1

Please consider removing herwig++ from unstable. It has two RC FTBFS bugs
open since 2016 and 2018, depends on thepeg which FTBFS with gcc 9,
indirectly depends on lhapdf which FTBFS with gcc 8, and indirectly depends
on gcc 7 which is obsolete.

Maintainers in CC to check for objections; if you object to this removal,
please fix the various FTBFS bugs in herwig++ and its dependencies thepeg
and lhapdf, so that they can all be rebuilt with the current gcc version.
