Package: xscorch
Severity: serious
Please transition to use libreadline6-dev instead of libreadline5-dev,
the readline maintainer has said everyone should use version 6 except
your package's license does not allow. Package libreadline5-dev has
gone from unstable, so your package on mentors.debian.net FTBFS
because missing dependency and cannot be sponsored.
Note: buildd only consider the first candidate in Build-Depends list,
which means "libreadline5-dev | libreadline6-dev" in build-dep equals
to simply "libreadline5-dev".
Please drop me a line when you have updated it, don't forget to add
RFS at the beginning of the mail's subject line.

Actually, this bug is not found in any version in Debian. If you check
the control file for the previous versions here are the dependencies:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), groff, libglib2.0-dev, libgtk2.0-dev,
libmikmod2-dev, libx11-dev, libxext-dev, libxi-dev
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
This is because the readline support is a soft dependency (an
enhancement) and the package builds fine without it. The dependency had
been missed in previous versions and was just added in the version on
mentors.d.n.
Since the bug is not actually found in Debian, I am closing it.
Regarding the GPL issue, before I submit an update I will see if we can
change to GPL v3, which I assume would resolve the issue in a more
satisfactory manner anyway.
Thanks,
-Jacob
