Bug Description

This issue originates from Debian unstable, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=966099 - because of the maintainer having orphaned the Debian package it seems unlikely that this issue solves by itself.

Please provide GnuCOBOL 3.1.2 as the latest official release, not a snapshot of an "early dev" version 4.0 without support for ORGANIZATION INDEXED.

I general it should be fine to use the 2.2 package definition and replace the version by 3.1.2, ideally add libxml-2 and libcjson to the dependencies to provide access to the newer features of GnuCOBOL 3 that use those.

Thanks, is there any option to get it into the older versions, too, maybe via backports?
The broken "4.0~early~20200606-3" is included since groovy.
