Bug Description

Binary package hint: simba

The man page for the simba package has very little information on how to use it. It contains alist of command-line flags, and a link to http://simba.packages.ro/, which promises to have detailed documentation. As of 2010-08-06, that web site is down, and Google appears to have nothing in its index for that site. Without more documentation, typical user (who can't or doesn't want to read the source code) cannot use the package.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/Bugs. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
