Bug#1132416: perl-tokyocabinet: tokyocabinet is deprecated and will be removed from Debian

[Tobias Frost]

Source: libtokyocabinet-perl
Severity: important

Control: block 1131879 by -1

Dear maintainers,

The Tokyo Cabinet library has been deprecated upstream for many years,

Given its age and lack of upstream maintenance, Tokyo Cabinet is starting
to show increasing issues (see e.g. #1114412). Therefore, there is an
ongoing effort to remove Tokyo Cabinet from Debian. This effort is
tracked with bug #1131879.

As perl-tokyocabinet is all about tokyocabinet, it is probably the time
to retire this package.

There are no reverse dependencies in Debain on libtokyocabinet-perl.

Cheers,
tobi
