Sorry, I think I misunderstood the meaning of 'needs-packaging'-tags. This package (python-uniconvertor) is already in the archives - this is just an update-request. So I'll delete the 'needs-packaging'-tag again. Sorry for the confusion...

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas (mantas)]

Uniconvertor 1.1.5 and SK1 now share common base - they depends on python-sk1libs libraries, latest versions of python-sk1libs and SK1 are available at ppa:maxim-s-barabash/sk1project - see:

https://launchpad.net/~maxim-s-barabash/+archive/sk1project

We can use maxim's packaging of python-sk1libs for creating official Ubuntu packages.

Hello!
Is there any progress on this? I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 'Natty' and still have no ability to import the .PLT files to Inkacape via Uniconvertor.

Is this package ever going to be updated?

One year and four moths... please update this!

I write a small how to compile uniconvertor 1.1.5 with Ubuntu 11.10. Take a look: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11371010#post11371010

[madbiologist (me-again)]

Still not fixed on Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet".

[HinzundKunz (martin-tlustos)]

And, self-compiling does not work as it looks for lcms.h, which is not there (only lcms2.h).
