Bug#585888: Proposed-RM: libconfig-ini-mvp-perl -- RoM: uninstallable, in part replaced by libconfig-mvp-reader-ini-perl

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Package: libconfig-ini-mvp-perl
Version: 0.024-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

libconfig-ini-mvp-perl has been packaged as a dependency of
libdist-zilla-perl [1][2], but that part has moved to a separate package
(libconfig-mvp-reader-ini-perl).  The reason to package it in the first
place is thus gone.

In addition the latest update of libconfig-mvp-perl has made
libconfig-ini-mvp-perl uninstallable [3].  To make it installable again,
the part that was moved to a different package upstream would have to be
removed (which has not happened upstream yet).

As there are no r-deps and the installation count reported by popcon is
also quite low (it was likely only installed as a dependency anyway), I
propose to remove this package.

If there are no objections, I will reassign this bug to the FTP team
after a while.

Regards,
Ansgar
