Subject: science-chemistry: recommends gelemental and gperiodic which are not in unstable
Package: science-chemistry
Version: 1.15
Usertags: package-relations package-relations-recommends
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package science-chemistry recommends gelemental and
gperiodic, which are currently not available in unstable.

See:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gelemental: not available in testing
  neither sid. The bug closing it says that another period table is
  mantained in Debian: kalzium. Perhaps it should suggest it?
  (see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1120759)
- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gperiodic: removed in 2026 because
  gtk2. Last upstream versions are from 2002 (or 2011 depends on where I
  look, there might be forks). I think that can be removed.

I had intended to not report yet problems in metapackages; but I think
that this two problems can be fixed.

Thank you for your time,
