Bug Description

Hi,
please remove

pygobject 2.10.1-0ubuntu1
pycairo 1.0.2-1ubuntu1
pygtk 2.8.6-0ubuntu1
pyorbit 2.14.0-0ubuntu1
gnome-python 2.12.4-0ubuntu1
gnome-python-desktop 2.14.0-0ubuntu2
gnome-python-extras 2.14.0-0ubuntu3
dbus 0.62-4ubuntu1
avahi 0.6.10-0ubuntu3

from the archive. they're all superseded by newer version and probably only kept because of the python2.4-* variants of the packages which were dropped but provided by newer version for the python policy change.

Currently they break packages which depend on the virtual python2.4-* packages.

Bye

Er, this is extremely confusing. For the record we don't remove superseded source like your bug implies - we remove just the superseded binaries (and have a tool to report on those). I'll look at this tomorrow.

why is this confusing?

<Kamion> slomo: no, I meant your bug was confusing because you were talking about removing old sources whereas what's actually needed is for the NBS binaries to be removed (and then the old source versions will be automatically garbage-collected)

You're mistaken about avahi; Scott removed python2.4-avahi from edgy a couple of weeks ago. avahi 0.6.10-0ubuntu3 is still in the archive because that's the version in dapper.
