Public bug reported:

Hello,

I'm requesting the removal of the almanah package from Ubuntu.

## Reason for removal

The package has already been removed from Debian (Bug #1117546) due to:

1. Depends on libcryptui, which is archived and unmaintained
2. almanah itself lacks active upstream maintenance
3. Security concerns from relying on unmaintained cryptographic libraries
4. No reverse dependencies in Debian
5. Related to libcryptui removal plans (Debian Bug #1112383)

## Status in Debian

- Removal approved by Debian FTP Masters on October 17, 2025
- Removed from Debian unstable (version 0.12.4-2)
- ROM (Request Of Maintainer) - I am the Debian maintainer


Thank you.

- ## Additional information
- 
- Since the package has been removed from Debian, it will eventually be removed
- from Ubuntu in the next sync. However, I'm requesting manual removal to avoid
- keeping an unmaintained package with security concerns in the archive.
- 
- Please remove almanah from all Ubuntu releases where it's still present.
  
  Thank you.
