Bug Description

It seems that color-theme and other packages are missing from between versions 40.1 and 36.3ubuntu1 which is breaking existing emacs customizations. Any chance these could be reverted back? or a different package could be provided?

Thanks for reporting.

Based on the changelog for the package, it looks like this was removed in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=904809. Changelog indicates that the README.Debian file contains more details (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs-goodies-el/40.1) and there is also a request to package a replacement https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=905246.

Still a problem in 42.2. No color-theme-* (thus no color-theme-modern that was proposed as a replacement).

Not sure if that should be a bug anymore. In Ubuntu 19 and 20 I have started to use melpa which allows to install custom and safe color themes.
