Package: rcalc Version: 0.5.0-1.3 Severity: serious Justification: FTBFS, no upstream release since 2005, many alternatives
I observe that rcalc seems to have some problems: * last 3 uploads were NMUs * fails to build from source (missing dependency on libglade2, but when that's fixed, the GNOME applet seems to be missing the CFLAGS for libgnomeui) * last upstream release was in 2005 * uses some deprecated GNOME libraries (e.g. libgnomeui) * alternatives include genius, qalulate, extcalc, galculator, Python, ... Is it still useful to have in Debian?
