> Public bug reported:
>
> Binary package hint: abiword
>
> Hi,
>
> Abiword is currently waiting for some universe b-deps, thus holding the
> build.
>
> There seems to be no good reason for abiword to stay in main.
> The Desktop team folks don't care for it:
> <seb128> I don't care enough abiword to write a mir for it
> [...]
> <seb128> charlie-tca, either move abiword to universe or find somebody
> interested to get the build-depends sorted
>
> Nobody is currently maintaining it in Ubuntu, but it's maintained in
> Debian, and there is no reason to introduce a delta because it's in
> main.
>
> If Xubuntu is the only derivative to use it, please demote it in
> universe so we can sync it from Debian (and it'll build correctly). If
> it's still in main because another random derivative needs it, someone
> from this derivative development team should decide to maintain it.
>
> It's stuck like this (poorly maintained) since xubuntu was demoted to
> universe (hardy): the desktop team folks (seb128) keep saying "I don't
> care", we (Xubuntu devs) keep asking to demote it to universe, but it's
> not done because of an obscure reason (edubuntu?), yet no edubuntu
> developer stepped up to maintain it (if it's in main, it means that
> abiword is supported by Canonical, isn't it? This was the reason invoked
> to demote Xubuntu to universe, so please do the same for abiword).

> Thanks!
