Description of problem: We've recently added a deprecation notice here: https://github.com/Rafficer/linux-cli-community?tab=readme-ov-file#deprecation-notice Also the package hasn't been updated for a long time, thus leaving Proton users confused on which one is official or not, as seen here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1ix0oah/i_dont_get_it_fedora_41_gnome_protonvpncli This I'd like to request for this package to be deleted from all fedora repos. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): protonvpn-cli-2.2.12-5
It's now unusable: > Writing configuration to disk... > [!] There was an error with accessing the ProtonVPN API. > [!] Please make sure your connection is working properly! > [!] HTTP Error Code: 422 > [!] This version of the app is no longer supported, please update to continue using the app
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 41 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 41 on 2025-12-15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '41'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 41 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed.

When I created this 10 months ago it was planned to be removed form F41 but we're on F43 now. Not sure what is needed to quickly have this deleted, and if creating another ticket would just delay this again.
No need to create a new ticket – just reopen this one, and set its version to F43 or Rawhide.

The ticket should be assigned to Justin, since he is the maintainer of the package and the only one who can retire it. I see you have already set the needinfo here, you can also try to poke him on Matrix or I'll try to do that myself if there's no answer here within a week or so.
Sorry. I just noticed this bug was assigned to the wrong Bugzilla account for me. Sigh… Bugzilla. :-) So, I can retire the package, but I confess it has been a long time since I retired a package. I am still on PTO until Wednesday, but I can find some time to figure this out and close this.

Thanks Justin, the guide on how to retire a package is at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Package_Retirement_Process/ Basically, just run 'fedpkg retire DESCRIPTION' in Rawhide, since we don't have any replacing package where adding Obsoletes/Provides.
