The package mldonkey fails to build from source with ocaml 4.11.1 because -unsafe-string is no longer available in ocaml 4.11.1 and newer.

The package ocaml went from 4.08.1 to 4.13.1 between focal (20.04LTS) and jammy (22.04LTS) and mldonkey disappeared from the package repository with hirsute (21.04).

The corresponding upstream issue is unfixed for almost three years now (May 2020).

As a result Stéphane Glondu from the Debian project requested the removal of mldonkey from Debian.
So it looks like the package mldonkey is history now.

Release 3.1.7-2 did get an Ubuntu package with groovy (20.10) which I am using but the repositories for groovy are gone and the package was removed with newer releases of Ubuntu.
