Please remove qxw from Debian. gtk2 is being removed from Debian
and there has been no response to the gtk2 bug
https://bugs.debian.org/967722
The last upstream git commit was in 2020.
The recommended replacement is the GNOME Crosswords app. It's not yet
in Debian but it has been requested at https://bugs.debian.org/1041470
It is available at
https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.gnome.Crosswords and
https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.gnome.Crosswords.Editor
Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
