Hi.
I informed the maintainer of the dpkg package yesterday via mail that his package is outdated and he should update it. I flagged the package itself as outdated, too. I haven't received an answer yet but someone removed the flag from the package. The package itself is a depency of another outdated package (debhelper). The packages can't be build because the sauce isn't on the servers anymore and the maintainer of debhelper is unable to update his PKGBUILD because of dpkg as missing dep. So I request to orphan the dpkg package in order to enable myself to update it.
Thanks and Greetings

Hello, normally I would say that one day is too short to expect answers. But if the maintainer has the time to unflag his package, he should also have the time to drop a short remark why he did so or why he does not want to update. So, orphaning.
