When I run make-sqlcl-package command I get the follwing output. The

Also this issue is reproduceble with sqlcl v24. The latest version of
sqlcl that I was able to package is v17. There is an upstream bug [1]
sinse 2018. Looks like the upstream is dead.

Hi Lazarus,

  This package seems pretty stale, not having any updates since buster.
Your upstream GitHub repo also hasn't seen any commits in seven years.

  As things stand, it looks like this package is useless without fixes.
If that's not going to happen, could you file a RM bug to expedite the
removal as we work to get the trixie RC bug count to zero?

Thanks,
Mathias
