Why is Aegisub no longer available in Ubuntu?

I recently updated to Bionic Beaver but Aegisub is no longer available in Ubuntu repositories.
I don't know of any other alternative and it's not the first time I've lost a program when upgrading :(
Does anyone know:
- Why it was removed from Ubuntu repositories?
- Any alternative I could use without add a third party repo?
Thanks~

I just tried Gaupol and I can probably use it although I'd still like to know what happened to Aegisub.

I could find no hints as to why Aegisub has vanished although I believe that it was dropped from Debian Buster (which Bionic Beaver is based upon).
Update: fkraiem has found the relevant Debian entry and the relevant bugreport.
Notwithstanding Debian's issues on 'Buster' I have managed to compile my own copy of Aegisub on Bionic Beaver. This is good solid option for you to regain access to this application without using a 3rd party repository.
As it is an older application some massaging of the source with sed has been required, otherwise there are really only 2 simple steps to take:
1. Dependencies and build tools:
Copy and paste this entire code block into a Terminal window to download and install some required dependencies and build tools:
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall libx11-dev libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev
libfreetype6-dev pkg-config libfontconfig1-dev libass-dev libboost1.62-all-dev
liblua50-dev libasound2-dev libffms2-dev intltool
2. Download, compile and install the source:
Copy and paste this entire code block into a Terminal window to download, extract, modify, compile and install the Aegisub source:
mkdir -v $HOME/aegisub_build && cd $HOME/aegisub_build
wget http://ftp.aegisub.org/pub/archives/releases/source/aegisub-3.2.2.tar.xz
tar xvf aegisub-3.2.2.tar.xz && cd aegisub-3.2.2
sed -i 's/$(LIBS_BOOST) $(LIBS_ICU)/$(LIBS_BOOST) $(LIBS_ICU) -pthread/' tools/Makefile
sed -i '46 a#include <unicode/unistr.h>' src/utils.cpp
CPPFLAGS="-DU_USING_ICU_NAMESPACE=1" ./configure && make -j 2
sudo checkinstall -D --install=yes --fstrans=no --pakdir "$HOME/aegisub_build"
--pkgname aegisub --backup=no --deldoc=yes --deldesc=yes --delspec=yes --default
--pkgversion "3.2.2"
The sed magic has been drawn from many sources, looks like Arch and Slackware are both keeping the application alive :).
3. Screenshot:
And a final screenshot demonstrating Aegisub successfully running on my Bionic system:

@fkraiem Thanks for finding that! Looks like it builds from source here OK although I have not tested the application extensively. I am waiting for the OP to say if he or she is happy with the build. Perhaps this patch needs including but I will hold off for the moment...

Thank you so much for the information. Also, I hadn't considered the possibility of compiling it myself. it worked like a charm and it even created a debian package for it.

@Meh Great to hear that this has worked out! Checkinstall does not create a fully portable debian package but it certainly integrates the package into the Ubuntu package management system.

I comment to ask for the pull request that fixes the issue to be merged (github.com/Aegisub/Aegisub/pull/48) and it's now merged, hopefully it won't be too long to make the package available again :-)

Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?
