[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#887031: openvswitch-ipsec: Please drop this deprecated binary

[Chris West]

Source: openvswitch
Version: 2.8.1+dfsg1-4
Priority: normal

Hi,

Please consider dropping the openvswitch-ipsec binary package from
openvswitch.

It's marked as deprecated in the description. It depends on ipsec-tools,
which doesn't look like it's going to make Buster, e.g. #858930. I've
talked with the maintainer (CC'd) and upstream appears to be dead.

(openvswitch would have been autoremoved from testing already, due to
this RC bug in ipsec-tools, but there's a problem(tm) with autoremovals
which is causing the removal to fail. This would remove neutron and many
other OpenStack packages.)

Cheers,
Chris.
