Hi All, It is very likely that ladish/gladish will be removed from the Debian archive soon, as it is not maintained upstream, and needs to be ported away from GTK2.
Whilst we can probably keep it a little longer in Ubuntu, unless someone steps up to take over maintenance (and do the porting work), it will be lost eventually. Do we have good alternatives?

The truth is unless someone is willing to do the porting work, these packages are not going to survive whether they are "maintained" or not.
