Fwd: [Fwd: binary removals of unbuildable packages in lucid]

Hi all,

i follow-up a message concerning the possible removal of Squeak vm
from the next Ubuntu version (Lucid) because there is some build
problems. If someone could look at these building problems.

Best regards,

------------
Dear developers,

At UDS in Dallas, it was proposed that we run a round of removals of those
binary packages in universe and multiverse from sources that fail to build in
lucid, so that we would enter the LTS release clean and no users would wind
up installing binary packages that it would be impossible for us to provide
security support for.

  https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-lucid-supportable-binaries

After some discussion on ubuntu-devel[1], this has now been done.  Attached
is the list of packages that were candidates for removal.  Some of these may
already have been fixed by uploads correcting the build failures, but if you
see a package here that you care about having available in Lucid, I
recommend that you check on it and take care of any remaining build
failures.  The archive admins will happily help any of these packages back
through the NEW queue that manage to get building again.

And if you don't get the package building again before release but a fix
comes along post-release, these packages are also candidates for the SRU
process[2].

Cheers,
