hm... should we remove this package from intrepid? (it's suggested in the Debian bug report to remove it from Debian altogeether).

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

packages was removed from unstable, see bug #501482.

If noone objects, I'll turn this into a removal request tomorrow.

Hi,

please remove acon from intrepid for the following reasons:
* was removed from unstable
* contains a setuid binary
* is written in bad/insecure manner, as the debian security audit (cf. debian #501461) revealed.

Thanks,
    Stefan.

There is nothing to take care, so I'm unsubscribing motu-swat.
