LWN.net wrote about the removal of ical and alternatives some time ago: "Creatures of habit, perhaps, should not run Debian unstable on their desktops. Your editor has learned to scrutinize every dist-upgrade carefully before turning it loose, but he missed the one that deleted ical from his system. Some investigation turned up that, in fact, ical has not been part of Debian for some time; it had been removed as being obsolete, unmaintained, and superseded by better alternatives. ical was able to continue to exist for years, however, until some recent change in unstable forced its removal." http://lwn.net/Articles/74814/ -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
