[Bug 1595485] Re: packages to remove from yakkety

[Steve Langasek]

Please note that in general, there is no need to file a bug to request
removal of a source package that has been removed in Debian; these will
be picked up for semi-automated removal via the 'process-removals'
script from ubuntu-archive-tools.

(In practice, this bug tipped me off to the fact that my runs were for
some reason using stale Debian Packages files, so thanks!)

What's generally more useful is to fix those packages that still depend
on the to-be-removed packages, so that the archive admins don't have to
track these reverse-dependencies down before removing.

Removing packages:

Bug description:
  (NOTE: all of them are gone from Debian)
  1) libpng.
  Superseded by libpng16

  no reverse dependencies I can see
  2) insighttoolkit
  Superseded by insighttoolkit4
  it doesn't build on powerpc, so we have to remove binaries here
  (sorry, but Debian maintains only amd64 and i386, and we can't maintain all the others including powerpc)

  just removing vmtk/powerpc should allow its removal too

  3) vtk
  Superseded by vtk6

  needs vmtk migration
  and fslview removal or demote to proposed.
  Debian broke it, because it is already broken, and it has little fix in time probability
  (probably we will remove in Debian soon)

  4) samtools
  old binaries left on armhf: libbam-dev, samtools (from 0.1.19-1ubuntu1)
  old binaries left on powerpc: libbam-dev, samtools (from 0.1.19-1ubuntu1)
  old binaries left on s390x: libbam-dev, samtools (from 0.1.19-1ubuntu1)

  removed in Debian too

  5) pepperflashplugin-nonfree [i386]
  please remove on i386 (removed in Debian too)
  upstream is not supporting it, so it can't be downloaded/installed on i386 anymore

  6) singular [armhf]
  removed in Debian too

  7) fpc [powerpc]
  powerpc sadness with glib 2.23
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fpc/+bug/1562480

  8) mame [ppc64el]
  sandness on that arch, removed in Debian

  9) flightgear [armhf]
  I don't care about simgear/armhf, because it is unlikely for such a game to run on thar architecture.
