Hello everybody,

we have packages lcms (which provides lcms 1.x) and lcms2. The former is flagged out-of-date every now and then for version 2.x... I would like to rename the package to lcms1 with replace and provide for lcms. Any concerns?

I don't think we should rename. Kill the package instead. The software is unmaintained upstream and probably several security issues exist.

Most packages that still depend on lcms1 can be changed to lcms2 without patches. For packages that need patches, Debian has those and otherwise we should just remove the software together with lcms1.

+1 for removing lcms1. I fixed the packages in the [community] repository. Someone else should fix packages in [extra], because I don't have access to this repository: - geeqie (FS#60091) - gimp (FS#60092) - xsane (FS#60090) -- György Balló Trusted User

All fixed. lcms (and its lib32- and python2- derivatives) can now be dropped.

Thanks a lot to anybody involved! I did not expect this to be possible without bigger hassles. Good thing I asked the mailing list. ;) -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}
