Package: libxapp1 Version: 2.8.13-1 Severity: serious Tags: forky sid upstream User: [email protected] Usertags: oldlibs libgnomekbd Control: block 1092927 by -1
libxapp1 depends on libgnomekbd8, and its -dev package has a similar dependency. libgnomekbd is dead upstream (see #1092927). It looks as though this dependency was removed upstream by https://github.com/linuxmint/xapp/pull/190, but then reinstated by https://github.com/linuxmint/xapp/commit/7868b8f2865710675feb10f8d2c96e5146fbd126, reverting the API/ABI break. Presumably the next upstream major version will remove it? Would upstream perhaps accept a patch to make use of libgnomekbd a build-time option, with a non-libgnomekbd code path that makes each of the XAppKbdLayoutController methods into a no-op? (Or perhaps it could use libmatekbd, a fork of libgnomekbd?) smcv
