Sorry guys, but this is what I call a very bad fix, this is a complete regression of functionality . With an easy fix available. Just load in the old packages into the repositories because of backward compatability. There is no clash of functionality if both older and newer are installed...

libsoup2.2
libsyncml0

someone uploads a separate source package for the old binary so that it continues to be security-supportable, but someone would have to commit to actually doing the upload.

So how do we do that? Can you just get the source packages out of Karmic, and put them into Lucid, or is there an easy link method available?

@Jonathan Riddell:
I would suggest to change the name and open it again, because the bug is actually not covering a removal, but rather a loss of functionality. Copy and pasting the contents to a new bug is a bit of a waste...
