Sync this package [y|N]? y
Request succeeded; you should get an e-mail once it is processed.

I'll (lightly) kick the transition once this builds.

Title:
  Sync qalculate-gtk 3.3.0-1 (universe) from Debian experimental (main)

Status in qalculate-gtk package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Please sync qalculate-gtk 3.3.0-1 (universe) from Debian experimental
  (main)

  Qalculate in the Ubuntu repositories is severely outdated. Compared to
  2.8.2 in the repos which is more than 2 years old, 9 major releases
  have been published (https://qalculate.github.io/news.html). These
  include many bugfixes and improvements which makes it recommendable to
  update the packages for the next Ubuntu release.

  I personally experienced multiple crashes, bugs and outdated data in
  the repository version. Not to mention missing features like the
  improved unit conversions. I cannot list them in detail anymore
  because I always install the newer qalculate packages (3.3) from
  debian experimental at any computer I am working. The official Ubuntu
  version has become unusable for me.

  Qalculate is by far the best calculator I found for linux and I think
  this package deserves some care.
