[Bug 1829377] Re: Remove this package

[Jeremy Bícha]

Archive Admins, cdebconf-terminal was removed from Ubuntu years ago.

Please remove vte and add it to the sync blocklist.

The vte source package only exists in Debian because it is a component
of the Debian installer and the Debian installer system is explictily
unsupported in Ubuntu. Eventually, Debian will switch to the GTK3
version of vte (source package vte2.91) but this is not ready yet.

Title:
  Remove this package

Status in cdebconf-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in vte package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in vte package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Please remove the ancient GTK2-based vte aka. libvte9{,-common} from
  Eoan.

  Upstream version has been unmaintained for about 8 years, development
  continued in the GTK3 branch (vte2.91 aka. libvte-2.91-0).

  Geany is the only package referring to it, and it also does
  incorrectly since it already uses GTK3, see bug 1829375.
