Any status update?

FWIW the upstream bug about this issue was created 5 years ago and
never updated since then.

Thanks!

Give me at least 2 months.

I think this can be done ;-)

All the best

Thanks a lot for checking!

This works for me. Note that shutter is also one of the very few
packages blocking the removal of other libgnome2*-perl packages,
so ideally the fix would remove all Gnome2::* dependencies.

What would be an acceptable timeline for you to check before we decide
about the removal? Personally I'm rather flexible: as long as this
happens during the Buster development cycle, I'm happy :)

Just tried to remove the depencency without success. shutter cannot
start due to missing Gnome2.pm. Need to check if this can be fix easily
or not. If we cannot fix it, I will say we can request the removal.

Hi,

as said on July 20
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=868398#15),
this package is one of the very few blockers that currently prevent us
from removing the obsolete libgnome2-perl and libgnome2-vfs-perl from
the archive.

Can I proceed and request the removal of this package from
the archive? Or has someone a plan to remove this dependency during
the Buster cycle?

I'm explicitly adding the people who've worked on this package this
most recently into the loop as they might have a plan or opinions.

Context: ideally I would like to sort this out during DebCamp, so
a quick answer would be appreciated. But of course I understand if you
can't react this fast :)

Cheers,
