To me, it is simply an RC buggy package which has had no new development upstream since 2012 and which depends on an obsolete, abandoned library. Unless it can be ported, it will need to be removed alongside t1lib.

Removing it is necessary, as explained. t1lib has been superseded and packages which used to use it need to migrate. The other packages have already done so, those which fail to do so cannot be supported when the underlying dependency has been abandoned. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
