Mate-calc going away? Galculator lacks financial and programmer features.

[dcharlespyle]

Wasn't sure where to put this but I just read that mate-calc is going away and will be replaced with Galculator in mate-desktop 1.10. I have made use of the programming and financial functions in mate-calc. Galculator lacks those features, so this basically amounts to a feature loss in mate-desktop 1.10, which will become an issue in the near future. Or, will the code for these functions be added to the codebase of Galculator to integrate those features into Galculator? Please advise.

You can always use mate-calc 1.8 until these features are included in galculator. Please use galculator bug system to ask for this inclusion.

Now seeing that mate-calc was obsoleted sooner than mate-desktop 1.10. Tried to do what you suggested and got the following:

• Waiting in queue...
• Running... Failed to install packages: Downgrading packages is prevented by policy; mate-desktop;1.8.1-3.fc21;x86_64;fedora, mate-desktop-libs;1.8.1-3.fc21;x86_64;fedora

Tried using Yum and yum with yumex, and get "Nothing to do."

Suggestions? So now I am left without both financial and programmer modes unless I switch to another desktop or go back to gnome shell (I don't want to do either). Any way to force this installation without breaking my system?

mate-calc is resurrected.
