[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#1088630: RM: ltx -- RoQA; RC buggy, Build-Depends from other RC buggy package, close to zero popcon

[Andreas Tille]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: ltx at packages.debian.org, Debian Javascript Maintainers <pkg-javascript-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Jonas Smedegaard <dr at jones.dk>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>
Control: affects -1 + src:ltx
User: ftp.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: remove

Hi,

I've checked ltx since its not only in Bug of the Day scope but also is
depending dh-buildinfo which should be removed (see #1068809).  I
inspected ltx whether I will be able to fix ITS RC bug #1064710 but
learned that the build does not even go that far but fails due to

Unsatisfied dependencies:
 node-node-expat : Depends: libnode108 (>= 18.6.0+dfsg) but it is not installable
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Thus I considered rebuilding node-expat to refresh dependencies to
recent libnode115 but also this attempt failed due to
   #1064047  node-expat FTBFS: test failures

So the sitiation is: ltx has two different reasons for FTBFS and its
(Build-Depends) also FTBFS.  IMHO this is a good reason to remove
a package with zero popcon votes.

Kind regards and thanks a lot for your work as ftpmaster
   Andreas.
