[Bug 1872667] Re: gummi package is development build with critical bugs

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Thank you for reporting this bug. The only logical way forward here is
to update the package to the new upstream version in focal or distro-
patching the critical issues that you have mentioned. Both of these
require performing an SRU, about which you can read more here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#SRU_Bug_Template

I'll subscribe ubuntu-sponsors so that someone can take a look and
sponsor the package for you just in case.

Bug description:
  Dear Maintainer,

  I am the upstream developer for gummi. After a long hiatus I have in
  recent months resumed development. Unfortunately the gummi package
  that was imported from Debian sid for this Ubuntu release is a
  development build that suffers from a critical bug.

  I hereby request to:

  1. Update the package to stable release 0.8.1 (see [2])
  2. Remove the package from ubuntu universe/tex

  Thanks in advance and with kind regards,

  alexandervdm
