MarcinWieczorek [1] filed a deletion request for xampp [2]: This package is broken and nobody knows how to resolve its issues. But after some discussion we decided that it should be deleted. Installing XAMPP or Linux system where we can just install apache and mysql and have the same is pointless. This package is redundant.
