Bug Description

When I try to install wings3d I get the following message:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

This appears to be due to the removal of the erlang-wx binary package in Bug 438365.

This also effects the amd64 architecture, as one would expect since the removal of erlang-wx.

Now that Ubuntu's dependency on CouchDB is long gone, shouldn't the full erlang installation be re-added to the repositories? This package and many other erlang applications have been crippled for too long!

Fwiw, in recent Ubuntu releases, I see that erlang-wx has been set as a build dependency so that this package will not build until the issue has been resolved. See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wings3d/1.4.1-5ubuntu1.
