Description Brian Golding 2017-10-19 15:12:14 CEST 
Description of problem:

pdftk-2.02-1.mga5.x86_64.rpm was made available for mga5 after the initial release.  It will not install on mga6.

Could a new pdftk rpm be built for mga6.

Thank you

pdftk has been intentionally excluded, because it no longer builds, see http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/task-obsolete/current/SPECS/task-obsolete.spec?r1=1106052&r2=1106428&pathrev=1172002

Indeed, and also because it is no longer maintained upstream, the last version dates from over 4 years ago. https://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-version-history/

Closing as WONTFIX.

However feel free to reopen this request when you see that upstream started maintaining the software again.
