[Bug 1862546] Re: Sync qalculate-gtk 3.3.0-1 (universe) from Debian experimental (main)

[Balint Reczey]

It missed 20.04 and now we have a few months before 20.10 Feature
Freeze. In the next months the Debian transition can happen in unstable
and the package can be synced from unstable automatically.

If the package is still not synced until closely before 20.10 Feature
Freeze we can consider going ahead of Debian with the transition.

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  Qalculate in the Ubuntu repositories is severely outdated.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  I personally experienced multiple crashes, bugs and outdated data in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.
