Request #17143 has been accepted by diabonas [1]: As mentioned in the README file of the abandoned upstream project (https://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter/commit/7c981f460d6c8c3690f140cbb279c277dc8f55fe), newsboat is an actively maintained fork of this project. It is available in [community], so I see no reason in keeping this package.
