Please drop the dependency on libmusicbrainz3

[Steve Langasek]

The kscd package in yakkety depends on libmusicbrainz3, which has been removed from Debian unstable. The kscd package in Debian unstable has been updated to libmusicbrainz5, but since kscd is at a newer upstream version in Ubuntu, this doesn't show up as a pending merge.

Please update kscd to either depend on libmusicbrainz5, as is done in Debian, or drop the libmusicbrainz build-dependency if it's not needed.

kscd is now the last reverse-dependency of libmusicbrainz3 in yakkety. It also shows as having no reverse-dependencies, and is not seeded. This bug is fixed in Debian. Should we not just sync the new version of kscd from Debian? And if that version is not appropriate for yakkety, should we not at least remove this version of the package for now?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Kubuntu has the fixed 16.04.3 packaged staged in ppas.

May be subject to a much delayed (due to developer availability problems) FFe, which would include said update.

Should that FFe not fly, then can get a fix done. Or if preferred, probably done anyway prior to that.
