An additional reason is the fact, that pdftk2 may depend on iText5 or later. For licensing reasons Fedora only provides iText-2.1.7 at the last release of iText wihout any known licensing issues. That are the two reasons why I'm not able to support pdftk on Fedora anymore and was forced to reitred this package. I'm sorry for nayone who maintaining any package with dependencies on this package.
