Package: php-horde-editor
Version: 2.0.4+debian0-3
Followup-For: Bug #769031

Dear Maintainer,

As you know, even after sym links are added so that all the 
appropriate file uploads succeed, CKEditor 4.x does not 
appear compatible with Horde 5.2.x and Imp 6.2.x.  This was 
confirmed by the Horde team today: "Using Ckeditor 4.x will 
only be possible when all of IMP's javascript code interfacing 
with Ckeditor is rewritten."

The easiest fix appears to be to install files and directories from 
horde/framework/Editor/js/ckeditor
into the debian package directory /usr/share/horde/js/ckeditor/

I tried this and it fixed the problem with the HTML editor not working.

This will also remove the dependency on ckeditor 4.4.4 and 
the requirement for a sym link imp/core -> /usr/share/javascript/ckeditor/core

The downside is the Horde/Imp HTML compose security updates will now depend
on the Horde dev team and CKEditor security back ports to 3.6.x.

I have suggested that the Horde team establish a sponsorship fund to pay
for moving to a current version of CKEditor.

Thank you
