libscrollkeeper0 is missing in Karmic, but glade-doc depends on it

[Piscium]

Binary package hint: scrollkeeper

libscrollkeeper0 package is missing in Karmic, but glade-doc depends on it, so installing glade-doc fails.

libscrollkeeper0 was however available in Jaunty.

I looked it up and it seems that the real issue is that scrollkeeper is outdated and possibly no longer being maintained. It seems as though it has been replaced by rarian, thus glade may need to be updated/repackaged to work with librarian0 if scrollkeeper is no longer going to be included....

Still an issue. Any ideas for how to get glade-doc to install?

Piscium,
     I personally resolved this by using the package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libscrollkeeper0

I must say, this is not the ideal scenario, nor is it a supported configuration as libscrollkeeper0 appears to not have the support to maintain it that we require for packages.

This appears to be working for me so far, but "Your mileage may vary."

Thanks, Jeremy, I also had had the same idea, and it fixed the problem.
