Unable to delete pkg 'blktool'?

[Jeff Garzik]

I am trying to retire package blktool.  This is what dead.package says 
locally:  "Tool never really caught on with users, or kept up with the 
times."

It is retired in the package database, but when trying to "fedpkg push" 
following "fedpkg retire", I get the following error:

Not sure what "DENIED by fallthru" means.  Anybody able to shed some light?

Thanks,

I don't know, but devel shows retired in pkgdb.

I can't be sure but what might be happening is that the deprecation in the
pkgdb was mirrored out to the acls in the git server before you were able to
push your dead.package there.

Since you're not in provenpackager and the deprecation sets orphan as the
owner, you don't have permission to push to that branch anymore.  For now,
I've committed and push a similar change for you so the package is properly
retired in git.

dgilmore has expressed interest in getting the whole retired package process
into a fedpkg command.  At FUDCon we worked out the steps that fedpkg would
need to do and it seems like there's nothing stopping it, there just needs to
be some time to make it happen.

How to get that restored, I wonder.
