• Bug#1066994: RM: libjconv -- RoQA; orphaned; dead upstream; RC-buggy; l

    From Andrey Rahmatullin@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 16 17:30:01 2024
    Package: ftp.debian.org
    Severity: normal
    X-Debbugs-Cc: libjconv@packages.debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:libjconv
    User: ftp.debian.org@packages.debian.org
    Usertags: remove

    Last (the only) upstream upload 2001, last maintainer upload 2001, orphaned since 2007. The upstream doesn't seem to exist anymore. While the description says "it is used as helper in sylpheed mailer", sylpheed actually dropped it in 2003.
    Currently FTBFS with -Werror=implicit-function-declaration.
