I'm definitely interested in taking over the package (also upstream) in case it gets orphaned. I also intend to fix that RC bug report (which IIRC I reported) with maybe an NMU before the freeze.

Bug#912877: gui-apt-key: Depends on libgtk2-perl, that won't be part of Bullseye
Source: gui-apt-key Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: Axel Beckert User: debian-p...@lists.debian.org Usertags: gtk2-removal Hi! This package depends on libgtk2-perl, that I intend to remove from testing soon after the Buster release, and then from sid at some later point during the Bullseye development cycle: https://bugs.debian.org/912860 Please get in touch with the upstream project and suggest they port this application to libgtk3-perl. I've personally ported a couple Perl GTK+ apps from 2.x to 3.x and it's rather straightforward. Upstream for the GTK+ 3 and GObject Introspection Perl bindings is responsive and happy to add missing bits to the bindings. This being said, I notice that this package is RC-buggy, not in testing currently, and the last maintainer upload was 10 years ago. So Cc'ing Axel, who did the last upload, in case he's interested to take the lead here :) Otherwise, I think the best course of action will be to remove this package from the archive. Cheers! -- intrigeri
