Dear maintainers of the Kubuntu-PPA,

It seems that all packages for Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) are gone from the
kubuntu-backports repository (PPA).

I realise that precise is EoL, hence I fully understand that no new
backports are being built for it anymore. However, why are the
previously-available packages also gone?

Installations of Precise that have used that repository in the past are
now in an uncertain situation, as they cannot reinstall specific packages
if needed. I am running KDE SC 4.14 on two Ubuntu 12.04 systems that I
have installed from the kubuntu-backports PPA. In the present situation, I
am unable to (re)install software that matches my KDE release.

Please consider re-enabling the backports repository for precise. Or at
least move the existing packages to another mirror so that existing
installations can keep functioning.

Thanks for your great work,

Claude
