Hello, I am the maintainer of KBibTeX, a BibTeX editor for KDE. KBibTeX has been shipped for Debian since version 0.1.5 back in 2006 thanks to Michael Hanke. Unfortunately, the package for KBibTeX in Debian has not been updated in a few years, the most recent package is from December 2012. This version (0.4) is no longer maintained by upstream (me). Since 2012, a number of more recent versions have been released (0.5.x and 0.6).
Whenever I receive bug reports for version 0.4, I usually ask bug reporters to test the current stable version (0.6 right now) to verify if the bug has been fixed. Unfortunately, many bug reporters do no have the skills to install KBibTeX from source themselves. For example, see here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330861 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357883 It would be nice and very helpful to trace/close bug reports if Debian would provide up-to-date packages for 'normal' users. The current stable version is still written for KDE4, dependencies have little if at all changed since 0.4. Essentially, just the version counter has to be increased before rebuilding/packaging KBibTeX. Looking forward to your feedback! Bye, Thomas Fischer
