[Bug 1771031] Re: Please remove libgnome from Ubuntu

[Jeremy Bicha]

** No longer affects: gnome-translate (Ubuntu)

** Also affects: gnome-vfs (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

  libgnome has been removed from Debian Testing and will not be included
  in the Debian 10 "Buster" release. We should do the same. If we do it
  now, maybe some projects will do the needed porting work away from
  libgnome (porting to gtk3 is probably needed) in time for Ubuntu 20.04
  LTS or Debian 10. Users who are hurt by these removals can keep using
  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for a few years.
  
  This bug depends on these other removals:
  gnome-python LP: #1739800
  DONE: gnome-sharp2 LP: #1771025
  DONE: shutter LP: #1771030
- 
- The libgnome removal in turn blocks these other removals:
- gnome-vfs LP: #1771035
- libgnome-keyring LP: #1771036

** Also affects: libgnome-keyring (Ubuntu)

+ resapplet and winefish are unmaintained and aren't in Debian.
+ 
+ linsmith is in Debian and will be either ported to gtk3 or removed
+ eventually, but I don't think Ubuntu needs to wait for that.
