In short: old versions of Bitcoin Core (as it is now known) are broken, not up to date on bug fixes, etc. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bitcoin&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all shows that these old versions of the package are shipped in precise, raring, and saucy. In the past, I'm pretty sure it's also shown version 0.6.something in quantal, but that appears to have disappeared from the search. My understanding from the ML discussions earlier is that it's impossible to remove a package from the package lists, but it could be replaced with an SRU by a dummy package that explains to the user why it's gone and prompts them to download the software either from the PPA (ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin) or the release binaries from bitcoin.org. This is what I'd like to request be done. ** Affects: bitcoin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Replace the package "bitcoin" with an empty dummy package https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314616 You received this bug notification because you are a member of MOTU, which is subscribed to the bug report. -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
