klipper does not work under xfce4, unable to remove without removing entire plasma-workspace or just deleting the executable

[Skylar]

klipper has no install candidate, and can not be removed stand alone. The only way to remove it through apt-get is to remove the plasma-workspace package which breaks many other things that depend on it and it's dependencies. The functionality of the application does not work under Xubuntu 16.10. To get the non functional app indicator out of my indicator plugin in the xfce panel I had to delete the binary from /usr/bin.

This is an unsupported release now. Please think to install the next LTS 'Bionic 18.04'

Marking as Invalid because the release is EOL is not correct. Marking as Incomplete. Also, 18.04 is (at the time of writing) still in development, and you should expect some breakage.

Reporter, is this still present on 17.10 or 16.04?
