Thank you for reporting the bug.

How much time do I have to fix this to prevent gjiten from disappearing from 
the ubuntu release?

This source package Build-Depends on gnome-common, a collection of
autoconf macros formerly used by GNOME, which was deprecated 10 years
ago.

gnome-common is now unmaintained upstream and has been moved to a
read-only archive, meaning that issue reports and merge requests will
not be accepted, even if a serious problem is found.

Please remove this dependency. One popular way to do this is to convert
the upstream build system from Autotools to Meson (or CMake) which will
often make it more maintainable and understandable. Meson is now GNOME's
preferred build system.

If the upstream developer prefers to stay with Autotools, please replace
gnome-common Autoconf macros with autoconf-archive Autoconf macros, and
replace gnome-autogen.sh with a local copy. For more details see GNOME's
porting guide:

* https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects(2f)GnomeCommon(2f)Migration.html

wiki.gnome.org is also being phased out. If it disappears, use this
archived copy of the porting guide:
