the remove reason of classads indicates it is fixable:

ROM; No longer released separately, moved to different source package

Julian: Fair enough, but is this going to happen?

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

I see that neurodebian have some possibly syncable packages.

[Michael Hanke (mih-debian)]

Yes, NeuroDebian has a package. However, that package has just been accepted into Debian experimental. An upload to Debian unstable is pending a few more changes/improvements. Once this is done Ubuntu will sync it automatically, I guess.

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

Aha, this is great news.
However, it won't sync automatically, Ubuntu is currently in freeze. Someone needs to investigate if we should sync/merge this or remove it for precise.

[Jonathan Riddell (jr)]

removed. if MOTU or others decide they want it synced please file the necessary sync bug

[Garn LeBaron (glebaron)]

So what needs to happen to get Condor back? I was planning on building a 12.04 cluster this week, and having the package available would make it a lot easier.

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

Garn:

Looks like we'll soon have something we can sync from Debian. When it's in quantal, it could possibly be backported to precise.

It's already in Debian unstable [0], but the maintainer doesn't seem to think it's very ready yet [1]. Maybe have a chat with him and see why.
