Package: blackbook
Version: 3-4.1
Severity: serious

So blackbook needs to deal with the C++ ABI transition.  
Details of the transition are at:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/07/msg00001.html

Basically, you would need a rebuild on all architectures with g++-3.4
or g++4.0.

However, according to http://blackbook.sourceforge.net/ ,
"Blackbook is no longer developed or maintained. The coding style is not
compatible with the newer GCCs and the author is not willing to fix it."

Accordingly, it may fail to compile with g++-3.4 or g++-4.0.  In this
case you have several options:
-- Fix it yourself, effectively becoming upstream
-- Build-Depend on g++-3.3 and carefully change all the Makefiles to
   make sure it uses it

Either way, you need to change the location of 'upstream',
because upstream is gone.  If you want to maintain it yourself, Alioth
will probably be happy to host 'upstream'.

Alternatively, you can reassign this bug to ftp.debian.org and ask them
to remove the package from unstable entirely.
