Let's not panic please. Upstream held us for a while with transition to Python-3 which finally happened in January (only some weeks ago). gcc-8 fix has been already committed but there are still few unsolved FTBFS problems that prevent upload of the package. No need to demand fixing the package or threaten its removal (but help is appreciated). > I intend to do this myself in 3 weeks, if there is no reply.

The remaining problems of updating to a more recent version are being worked on, see the recent discussions in #937102 if you are interested in details. > bye, Joerg cu Adrian

Package: mysql-workbench Severity: serious Dear Maintainer, mysql-workbench uses gcc-8 for building, known through bug #944177 for more than a year. Nothing seems to happen, package looks unmaintained. gcc-8 is now removed from Debian, so this package either must have an update, or should be removed too. Please either fix this with an upload removing the usage of gcc-8, or reassign this bug to ftp.debian.org asking for removal, and retitle it something like RM: mysql-workbench -- ROM; outdated, unmaintained Thank you! I intend to do this myself in 3 weeks, if there is no reply. So if you are on it and need a little more time, please tell. -- bye, Joerg
