Bug#264746: Please use gcrypt11/gnutls11 instead of gcrypt1/gnutls7

Tue, 10 Aug 2004 09:55:44 +0200

Subject: Please use gcrypt11/gnutls11 instead of gcrypt1/gnutls7, if possible
Package: balsa
Severity: important

'balsa' depends on gcrypt1 or gnutls7.

These packages are old, no longer supported by Upstream, and contain
serious deficiencies / bugs. See [0] and followup emails, and [1] for
further details.
(These are about gcrypt7 and gnutls10, but the same reasoning applies.)

Therefore, we want to get rid of gcrypt1 and gnutls7 in Sarge, if possible.

Please check whether you can easily replace those libraries in your package.
Thank you.

NB: If balsa doesn't itself build-depend on gcrypt1 or gnutls7,
you can fix the problem by either updating your package's copy of
libtool (best), or build-depending on newer versions of those libraries
which pull in the dependency on gcrypt1 or gnutls7 (acceptable).
