I picked up jakarta-commons-httpclient in an attempt to keep
ant-contrib building. That proved impossible, so I removed all
dependencies on ant-contrib from packages I maintain instead. That
means I don't need jakarta-commons-httpclient, so I am orphaning it
again.
These packages still depend on it:
ant-contrib
fop

Honestly anything that requires jakarta-commons-httpclient should be
blacklisted. This library has been EOL and unmaintained for a *decade*
and contains all manner of problems.
This package should be retired and dependents should be ported to
httpcomponents-client or retired also.

THe fop dependency appears to have just been left in the spec file.
It's been removed with the 2.6 build just done.
+1 to Matt's comment - this package is ancient and needs to go.
Likewise I expect for ant-contrib. I've retired java-sleep -> moconti
which are also dead upstream and were users of ant-contrib.
