marja11 The project Banshee is dead since several years. The github page is archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/banshee The project page is for sale: http://banshee.fm/ All Forks are dead. All Distributions except Mageia removed it from their repos: https://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=banshee&submit=Search+... Banshee crashes on all distributions. Banshee crashes at MGA8 Banshee crashes at Cauldron It is an annoyance to have a non working, non maintained, always crashing program in a modern distribution. Solution: Remove it from Cauldron!

Thanks for having figured that out. I wrote "MGA8TOO" on the whiteboard, even if, afaik, we never obsolete a package in stable. It is just to make clear that the package is useless in Mga 8, too. Do we need a tracker for packages that should be obsoleted? Whiteboard:
