Please remove fcitx-zhuyin and libzhuyin from bionic

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

The resolution of bug #1735362 includes upgrading of the fcitx-libpinyin and libpinyin source packages by syncing from Debian experimental. The new version of fcitx-libpinyin takes over the functionality of fcitx-zhuyin, and the new version of libpinyin takes over the functionality of libzhuyin.

Debian is about to drop fcitx-zhuyin and libzhuyin:

However, to move bug #1735362 forward there is a need to remove them in bionic before they have been removed from sid. It should better be done as soon as the packages mentioned in comment #22 of bug #1735362 have migrated to bionic-release.

$ rmadison -S fcitx-zhuyin | grep 'bionic/universe'
 fcitx-zhuyin | 0~20150911-4 | bionic/universe | source, amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x
$ rmadison -S libzhuyin | grep 'bionic/universe'
 libzhuyin | 1.1.1-1 | bionic/universe | source
 libzhuyin-data | 1.1.1-1 | bionic/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x
 libzhuyin-dev | 1.1.1-1 | bionic/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x
 libzhuyin7 | 1.1.1-1 | bionic/universe | amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, s390x

fcitx-zhuyin has no reverse depends.

$ apt rdepends libzhuyin-data libzhuyin-dev libzhuyin7

A new version of ibus-libzhuyin, currently in -proposed, depends on libzhuyin13 (built by libpinyin) instead of libzhuyin7.

ibus-libpinyin 1.9.2-1~exp1ubuntu1, which does not depend on libzhuyin7, has now migrated to bionic-release. Hence the above packages can safely be removed.

The packages were removed from unstable, and with that bionic, on 2018-02-13. Closing.
