If people want it they should install the fixed version that we are not
allowed to distribute
perhaps we can obsolete it with one of those nonfree getters? (if security

</I>><i>
</I>><i> or, maybe a package that gives an README.urpmi ...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> IMHO: i think obsoleting it is fine, but with a README.urpmi that says
</I>><i> notifies
</I>><i> that it's been obsoleted.
</I>><i>
</I>
Yes that seems the best solution to me

</I>><i> we really shouldn't keep stuff we can't maintain...
