For the people that want gtk1.2, your best bet is to work together to maintain it in a PPA. It was quite deliberately removed from Debian and Ubuntu because it's no longer supportable. The last gtk1.2 was a very long time ago. Certainly no more recently than 2002: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gtk+/1.2/ See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=520441 for additional details.
A number of people are also unhappy about the libstdc++5 removal. That's not coming back either. -- libgtk1.2 missing on karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478219 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
