Things like docbook, texinfo, ... are now in universe, so they are not present in OBS.
In the past, I had to import only a few packages - this time, it looks like a larger pile. Others will propably miss (the same) packages.
I understand, the complete universe can't be part of OBS for legal reason.
So if we can't add the whole universe, would it be possible to create a global Ubuntu 16.04 import project? Each package is just a _service file to download the 2-3 source files from archive.ubuntu.org. That way review of package additions are simple.
I offer to share the packages, that I need to import for my projects [which include po4a and wxWidgets3.0 and their dependencies]. I'm getting bitten bad by this issue, too. There's a huge chain of

Me also. We are building our packages on the OBS. For now one package breaks because it needs 'ant' to build. Even when we try to build ant on the OBS it needs a whole list of dependencies which are currently not present on the OBS.
I have started such a repository (at least for my project): home:e9925248:Ubuntu:16:04:universe-import As having everything in one place, I'll accept submit requests to my repository, which just consist of a _service file just downloding the sources from the ubuntu archive. If there is an official repository created, I'll submit my packages to it. To simplify importing, I created the attached helper script. Search the package name on packages.ubuntu.com and visit the detail page. Copy the DSC-Link and run the skript: home:e9925248:Ubuntu:16:04:universe-import$ ./import.sh gnome-common http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-common/gnome-common_3... The first parameter is the package name, the second the URL to the dsc file. It creates a template, which needs further adjustment of the file names. The run "osc commit". Regards, Martin
