Source: grhino
Version: 0.16.1-3
Severity: serious
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs rarian
Tags: sid buster patch

scrollkeeper has been deprecated and unmaintained for years. Its
replacement, rarian has been deprecated for years too. More
importantly, it doesn't seem to be needed at all. yelp can easily
display Docbook help files without any .omf files.

We do not intend to ship rarian in Debian 10 "Buster". Therefore,
please drop rarian-compat from buzztrax's Build-Depends.

I'm attaching some patches for this in my follow-up email.

Note that grhino is still at risk for being left out of Buster because
of https://bugs.debian.org/868421

On behalf of the Debian GNOME team,
