Re: libsdl1.2-dev – Nolonger supports Color Ascii Ourput (libcaca) - WHY?!



Please note that you tried to submit a bug but didn't get the syntax right,
so it won't have worked.

Check the changelog. It reads:

libsdl1.2 (1.2.14-6.3) unstable; urgency=low
…
   * Remove support for libaa (there’s libcaca), libsvga (directfb
     supports more architectures) and libesd (pulseaudio does much more).
…

That's very unlikely, seeing as the author of libcaca is Sam Hocevar, who
is also a Debian developer, and contributed to the SDL packaging as recently
as June 2012. (Again, check the changelog.)
