Packages removed from the debian.wgdd.de repository

Several packages have been removed from the archive:

CDK
The »Chemistry Development Kit« (CDK) now has been officially packaged and uploaded by Michael Koch. If you still have my packages installed, first uninstall/purge libcdk-java-doc, cdk und libcdk-java-dirbrowser (completely) and then install the current version of libcdk-java. Scripts found in cdk will probably be added to the Debian distribution soon.
Jchempaint
Jchempaint has been merged into CDK some time ago and there are plans to build/package it for Debian. My packages were just outdated. Please expect updated packages from the Debian mirror next to you :)
Jmol
Ditto. We are working on an official Debian package. I'm not planning nor working on an official Debian package. But there is an ITP (#512930) for it.
MOLDEN
This package was outdated. The current release is version 4.6. The packaging files have been moved to the debichem groups SVN. You can build the package yourself by using svn-buildpackage. Just download the MOLDEN source and the packaging files. Then set the configuration option svn-override=buildArea for svn-buildpackage to the place where the upstream tarball resists (create the symlink molden_4.6.orig.tar.gz -> molden4.6.tar.gz) and run svn-buildpackage with your preferred options.
We are currently not allowed to distribute MOLDEN binaries or its source with the Debian distribution. But we are in contact with upstream.
clamassassin
There is an official clamassassin Debian package for some time now. However, the package only ships the clamssassin script, but not clamdassassin.
