According to the [Debian security tracker](https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2021-25219) 1:9.11.5.P4+dfsg-5.1+deb10u5 is vulnerable. This package is buster only and should be removed.

I will remove every buster only (thanks to apt-forktracer).

There are some packages not upgraded to bullseyes:
  • molly-guard: ✅ 0.7.2.0 is now used instead of 0.7.2.0~buster on every host
  • rspamd: this package is upgraded manually, the upgrade requires to perform some manual checks
There are some used packages without any bullseyes version:
  • incron: ❔
@Marc Dequènes on Jinta, could these packages be removed:
  • dict-freedict-all It looks like there isn't a dict meta package anymore ? Should we update a playbook in order to ensure all other dict packages are installed ?
  • dict-moby-thesaurus, dict-bouvier, dict-gazetteer2k

Quack,

I upgraded rspamd to bullseye but forgot to update this ticket.

incron is only used for handling package uploads in our Debian repository. I'm fine with replacing it but I have no idea what alternatives are out there.

As for dict-freedict-all it was removed, let's list deps we use most as you suggested. I'm fine with removing the other packages as they are most surely unmaintained upstream anyway.
