2019-05-18 20:20:33 Dylan Aïssi description Related to Bug #Bug #1757314, where pdftk was removed due to deprecated dependencies in Debian, see (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892539). Later Ubuntu releases (Cosmic, Bionic) have moved over to pdftk-java as Debian has started using pdftk-java. Once pdftk-java packaged for 18.04.02 then Bug #1764450, request for pdftk being re-introduced. Reason for the backport: ======================== pdftk was removed from Debian and Ubuntu [1] due to the removal of one of its build-dep: GCJ. It was replaced by a new source package: pdftk-java [2]. Unfortunately, pdftk-java was not ready in time for Bionic. So, Bionic is the only Ubuntu release without any working pdftk package which is very annoying. [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757314 [2] https://bugs.debian.org/901370 Testing: ======== Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing. * bionic: [x] pdftk-java builds without modification [x] pdftk-java installs cleanly and runs No reverse dependencies (included on this request). https://launchpad.net/~daissi/+archive/ubuntu/testing/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related to Bug #Bug #1757314, where pdftk was removed due to deprecated dependencies in Debian, see (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892539).
