Thank you very much for your patience and effort to keep Kiwix running on Debian. The work generated by the deletion of xulrunner related packages is not trivial. We have had already a look to this at the time xulrunner was removed from Ubuntu. Therefore, without a compilation/gecko wizard being able to fix it within the next weeks, I don't think kiwix is going to survive in the Debian repository... for now. It's of course sad, it has always been important for us to be in Debian. But, Kiwix development is alive and I hope this step backward will be at anytime forgotten by two steps forward, and we will see then Kiwix back in Debian.

I have filed a removal request for kiwix against ftp.debian.org.

Mike
