Purging chroot-autobuild/build/buildd/xiphos-3.1.4

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

if there is no xulrunner in oneiric, then I can switch the package to gtkhtml backend (if gtkhtml backend is working).

Upstream is working on porting to webkit.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package xiphos - 3.1.4-3

---------------
xiphos (3.1.4-3) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Dmitrijs Ledkovs <email address hidden> ]
  * Drop xulrunner, use gtkhtml instead. (Closes: #631049) (LP: #756201)
  * Drop quilt dependency (daily ppa converts 3.0 quilt format to 3.0 native)
  * Bump policy to 3.9.2, no changes required.
