Update:
See the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey..._video_game%29

Old info:

Since this thread started collecting broken packages I've changed the title.
Please
a) try contacting maintainers and post results by updating the post where you mentioned the package as broken;
b) or just add that you don't want to so someone else would.

waiting for status:

What is your question?

I do not get it. Here are my questions:
Why did you say 'Yes' to this list?
Which of the packages listed would you want to get rid of?

I wanted to point that it looks like there are some errors in postrm script. Yes, I wanted to get rid of them all. I'm trying to figure out why does hildon-status-menu not starting properly, thus removing everything at least related to applets in it.

The package hasn't been maintained since 2009.
There's no bugtracker and no bugzilla.

Should be an easy fix if its worth bothering but I don't want to attempt to fix a DOA package, I wouldn't use.

However from a quick search there maybe other bugs

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=13

Does anybody use it successfully on PR1.3.1/CSSU?

Should the package just be removed from the Repos as broken?

Last changelog file

Code:

pc-connectivity-manager (0.7.14) experimental; urgency=low

  * Bug that prevents sbrsh applet to use wildcards fixed

I remember trying this on PR1.2 and it was not working back then. Yes it should be pulled from the repos (maybe an archive repo) and so prolly should some other non-working packages eg. minigpsd.

IMO rather than pulling things into a separate repo, I would just remove/move the deb from the repo and leave the source in garage.

This way they may get repaired in the future but are un-installable to people that cannot fix them (people without scratchbox etc).

As an idea, if when things are deemed unstable and pulled from the repos maybe a warning could be send out on updating CSSU or whatever. Some users may have "stable-unstable" packages with no easy way of telling them. If not on TMO.

wifi-switcher is another broken package I believe.

In addition @int_ua what was that package you found with the broken QSettings? Did that get repaired?
