Bug#460453: xbase-clients: xgc has gone missing
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.3+10
Severity: normal
This report is essentially the same as #445097. xgc used to be in
xbase-clients; now, after the split, it is not in any package. I use
it and would like it to be available.
If any other clients in the X tree have suffered this same fate, I think
you should reconsider and install them into one of the utils packages
anyway. Even if "no one" uses them, or they're "obsolete" or "broken"
or whatever, the only way they will be kept from rotting to the point
where they interfere with package maintenence is if users can run them,
submit bugs, and create patches. Their existence in /usr/bin will not
hurt anyone who doesn't care about them.
