[Bug 1029476] Re: Remove qt-x11-free from the archive

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package xbmc -
2:11.0~git20120510.82388d5-1ubuntu2

---------------
xbmc (2:11.0~git20120510.82388d5-1ubuntu2) quantal; urgency=low

  * Recommend python-gtk2 instead of python-qt3 as the latter is going to
    be removed from the archive. (LP: #1029476; Debian bug #685076)
    python-qt3 was used by FEH.py and FEH-ARM.py. Both support gtk2 as an
    alternative output.

Bug description:
  Qt3 has been EOL'd by Trolltech (now a division of Nokia) back in
  2008. It is unmaintained through and through, and it is time to move
  on.

  To quote Jonathan Riddell from a mail to ubuntu-devel:
  "Qt 3 is old, unmaintained and unused by anything anyone cares about.
  It's been removed from Debian.  So I propose we remove it from Ubuntu
  too, just after an LTS is a good time to do this.  This will mean we
  are not compliant with lsb-desktop but a standard which uses obsolete
  technologies isn't any use to anyone."

  This bug will serve as a metabug for packages that either need removal
  or modifications to remove Qt3 reverse dependencies.
