Hi!
This package depends on libgtk2-perl, that I intend to remove
from testing soon after the Buster release, and then from sid at
some later point during the Bullseye development cycle:
https://bugs.debian.org/912860
Please get in touch with the upstream project and suggest they
port this application to libgtk3-perl. I've personally ported
a couple Perl GTK+ apps from 2.x to 3.x and it's rather
straightforward. Upstream for the GTK+ 3 and GObject
Introspection Perl bindings is responsive and happy to add
missing bits to the bindings.
Additionally, I notice that:
- This package was orphaned back in 2012.
- Upstream seems to be… a code dump in a Pidgin upstream ticket
comment: https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/288
So perhaps my suggestion to contact upstream is kind of moot :/
- There are other options for this use case nowadays, such as OTR,
which are probably better for most use cases.
So perhaps it would be best to remove this package from Debian.
Cheers!
