Description Ville-Pekka Vainio 2007-11-21 16:50:00 UTC
Description of problem:
I recently upgrated my installation to Fedora 8. When I run package-cleanup
--orphans, it lists pdftk-1.41-5.fc7.i386 and even according to the PackageDB
there is no pdftk package in Fedora 8:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/pdftk

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install pdftk from the default repositories with yum
  
Actual results:
Pdftk is not found

Expected results:
Pdftk should be installable even when using Fedora 8

Comment 1 Jochen Schmitt 2007-11-21 18:09:32 UTC
pdftk was remove from Fedora because is based on iText which has licensing 
issues.

Comment 2 Ville-Pekka Vainio 2007-11-21 18:19:43 UTC
Sorry for submitting this bug report, I should have looked for the existing bugs
more carefully. For some reason Bugzilla didn't show them with a simple search.
This is unfortunate, as it's a nice tool, but we do have to respect Sun's licenses.
