Summary

Updated package counts, removed mpg123-related packages and perl-Crypt-CBC/Crypt-DES entries from removed packages list

Security assessment

Removal of perl-Crypt-CBC/Crypt-DES packages indicates proactive elimination of weak cryptographic implementations. While mpg123 removal is unrelated, the crypto package removals directly impact security by removing vulnerable dependencies. DES-based cryptography is considered cryptographically weak and a security risk.
