Hi Mike,

In Debian Edu task geography two suggested packages are not available.

1. Package qlandkartegt has been replaced with qmapshack in Debian.
   So this can easily updated in task geography.

2. The second missing package is googleearth-package.
   It is unclear to me what exactly it refers to.
   I can't imagine that it refers to the google-earth-pro
   package that is available from
https://www.google.com/earth/about/versions/download-thank-you/?usagestats=1&linuxos=deb
   because it is not at all DFSG-free.
   More likely is that libgeo-googleearth-pluggable-perl is meant
   by it. Package libgeo-googleearth-pluggable-perl
   is still available in Debian.


So, if you can agree with it, I could update
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-edu/debian-edu/-/blob/master/tasks/geographyaccordingly. Doing so could close bug #1118081.
