Package: rcalc Version: 0.5.0-1.3 Severity: serious Justification: FTBFS, no upstream release since 2005, many alternatives
I observe that rcalc seems to have some problems:
* last 3 uploads were NMUs
* fails to build from source (missing dependency on libglade2, but when that's
fixed, the GNOME applet seems to be missing the CFLAGS for libgnomeui)
* last upstream release was in 2005
* uses some deprecated GNOME libraries (e.g. libgnomeui)
* alternatives include genius, qalulate, extcalc, galculator, Python, ...
Is it still useful to have in Debian?
Regards,
Simon
