Summary	0007346: 'ranger' removed from Kali Repositories
Description	Hi there, During a build test for Kali i3-gaps, initinfosec realized that "ranger" (https://pkg.kali.org/pkg/ranger) was removed from the Kali repositories today (2021-09-27). Is there a reason why 'ranger' was removed from Kali Linux repositories, despite the repository and package not having any issues (from what I can see)? Kind regards.
Additional Information	pkg.kali.org URL: https://pkg.kali.org/pkg/ranger Debian Git URL: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/ranger.git

sbrun 2021-09-29 08:51 manager ~0015244	ranger has been removed from Debian Testing (and then from Kali) because of this issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=993029

Arszilla 2021-10-07 05:51 reporter ~0015264	I assume once it's fixed, we'll see ranger return to the Kali repositories?

arnaudr 2021-10-07 06:28 manager ~0015265	Yes that's correct. In this case it would be good to look at upstream git repo https://github.com/ranger/ranger to see if this particular issue was already reported upstream. Moreover it's possible that the issue is fixed in latest tagged version 1.9.3. It would be great is someone could: reproduce the issue mentioned at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=993029 check if it's still present in 1.9.3 check if it's still present in latest version from git master branch If we're lucky it can be solved simply by updating the package to its latest version. Otherwise (if the issue is still present), then it needs to be reported and fixed upsteam.

Arszilla 2022-04-11 19:00 reporter ~0016034	The ranger package has returned. This ticket can be closed.
