Re: pspp removed from Debian

[Roberto Roggiero]

This is a very sad news, taking into consideration that Debian is a
major distro.

What are the consecquences of this for future pspp updates in Debian?
We won't have any further updates?

By the way, I was unable to install the latest pspp 0.8.1 in Debian
Sid, since some dependencies are just not available.

Regards, Roberto.
