Subject: Package slim has been removed from Debian

Version: 1.3.0-2+rm

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/505460 in Debian BTS
against the package slim. I'm closing it as fixed in *unstable*,
but it will remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/538921. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
