Source: libgtk2-sourceview2-perl
Version: 0.15.13
Severity: important
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs gtksourceview2
Tags: sid buster

As announced [1], we do not intend to release Debian 10 "Buster" with
the old libgnome (and related) libraries. These libraries have been
deprecated and unmaintained for several years.

libgtk2-sourceview2-perl depends on gtksourceview2 which has not had a
new release since 2010.

libgtk2-sourceview2-perl has one reverse dependency in Debian: xacobeo

Please port your package to GTK3 and gtksourceview3 and related
maintained libraries. Otherwise, please consider requesting that your
package be removed from Debian to help us complete this goal.
