Source: gnubiff Version: 2.2.17-1 Severity: serious User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: oldlibs gconf Tags: sid buster
Your package build-depends on gconf, but gconf will be removed from Debian soon. gconf's last release was about 5 years ago. It has been replaced by gsettings (provided in Debian by source glib2.0 ) Please try to port your package away from gconf. Otherwise, be aware that this package is at high risk of being removed from Debian to help us complete this goal (because gnubiff is orphaned). gnubiff's build system is odd. It requires gconf to be installed for the build but doesn't actually install the gconf schemas!
