Sometimes a package needs to be withdrawn from Wolfi because it has been determined to be defective. Also obsolete packages should be withdrawn after renames and stream-splits. This is to avoid somebody from accidentally depending on it. If you are fixing the defective version, and in the process are bumping the epoch, most likely you do not need to withdraw the package as the newer version will be preferred by version selection process. Any other package fix that will create a more preferred version will also mean that you are not likely to need to withdraw packages.

To do so:

1. Add the package names that need to be withdrawn to withdrawn-packages.txt.
2. Run the "Withdraw packages" workflow on GitHub.

The "Withdraw packages" workflow exists in .github/workflows/withdraw-packages.yaml.
