Hi All,
Krytarik (via Set) pointed me to a Release Team conversation on IRC
about Krita just before the Yakkety release. Apparently it was Failing
To Build From Source (FTBFS).
From memory, it is complicated because krita is moving from one source
package to another (calligra to somewhere else). Also, the calligra
package has an epoch in the version (1:2.9.11-0ubuntu2
<https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calligra/1:2.9.11-0ubuntu2>),
which means that it is never automatically synced from Debian. It is
effectively maintained in Ubuntu.
I think it would be best to get in touch with the Kubuntu Team to find
out what they know.
Regards,
Ross
