Jamin hasn't seen any development since some Czech translations were added in 2015 [1] and is suffering bit rot. As such, we removed it from Ubuntu Studio's default installation in 2021[2]. Additionally, it fails to build from source using GCC-14[3], which will likely cause it to be removed from Ubuntu and Debian in the very near future.
Based on all of this, it is dead upstream and the author has lost interest in developing it. I suggest finding alternatives and cease depending on it in your workflow.
