There's no need to pursue this through another round of non-responses.

So reassigning this bug to ftp.debian.org for removal of scim-bridge. Nobody has stepped up to do the work in the previous month, so there can be no complaints about the removal. Also seeking the removal of scim-bridge-el as there has been no response to #642560 re the removal of scim-bridge since Sat, 24 Sep 2011. If someone wants eventually does the work, the package can be re-introduced but it's been 5 months since the original bug report, so that seems unlikely. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
