[Bug 1829377] Re: Remove this package

[Christian Ehrhardt]

Thanks Jeremy, as you said cdebconf-terminal is gone post focal.
I found no other new dependencies either.

Indeed the modern version is fine and keeps being updated
 vte2.91 | 0.42.5-1ubuntu1         | xenial         | source
 vte2.91 | 0.52.1-1ubuntu1         | bionic         | source
 vte2.91 | 0.52.2-1ubuntu1~18.04.2 | bionic-updates | source

 vte2.91 | 0.78.2-1build1          | plucky         | source

But that is not true for the 0.28 branch
 vte | 1:0.28.2-5ubuntu1  | trusty            | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-5ubuntu3  | xenial            | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-5ubuntu4  | bionic/universe   | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-6build1   | focal/universe    | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-6build3   | jammy/universe    | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-6.1build2 | noble/universe    | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-6.1build2 | oracular/universe | source
 vte | 1:0.28.2-7         | plucky/universe   | source

Well it still gets rare updates as in [1], but see Jeremy's post, that
is for the Debian installer.

No dependency, people really should use the modern one.
=> Ack to remove that in Plucky

Title:
  Remove this package

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

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.
