Kawamura-san, In bug #272127, the maintainer (and upstream) of freecdb had this to say about the package: I'm much happier just forcing people to migrate to tinycdb, a cleaner reimplementation of the same idea, called tinycdb; any project that isn't dead itself, and still depends on freecdb, should migrate to tinycdb. TinyCDB even gets updated every once in a while. The only reason freecdb exists is to support software that wants to use djb's cdb, and it even isn't API-compatible with the newer versions of cdb. I am upstream for this fork, and am officially stating that freecdb is _DEAD DEAD DEAD_. Pining for the fjords! It seems that you have three packages: skksearch, skkdic, and dbskkd-cdb that build-depend on freecdb. Can these packages be migrated to TinyCDB, as Tommi suggests? This would let us remove freecdb from the archive, which sounds like it would be a good thing. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.debian.org/
