Public bug reported:

This package fails to rebuild, as necessary for a library transition,
because it uses non-standards-conformant C++ that is no longer
permitted.  I haven't tried to fix it, because:

 - this package was originally uploaded to Ubuntu in 2006 and has had no new 
upstream release since
 - the uploader is no longer an Ubuntu developer
 - the last substantive upload was 10 years ago to *disable* a security feature 
of the compiler due to incompatibility, and there has been no attempt since 
then to update it
 - there does not appear to be any new upstream release available anywhere for 
this software
 - it is a library with no reverse-dependencies in the Ubuntu archive.

I think it needs to be removed, and plan to do so promptly. If someone
is interested in maintaining this software, it can be reuploaded to
Ubuntu.
