Thank you both for for asking my point of view. My opinion was hidden here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=14;bug=575087 | The merged bugs 575087 and 599083 describe multiple problems. One of the | described problems is that wbar silently fails to display a bar on a default | Debian installation. That matches the text "makes the package in question | unusable or mostly so" making the severity of this bug "grave". My opinion is based on how I understand "Depends" and "Recommends" in debian-policy. The package should work, providing at least some basic funcionality, without the software in "Recommends". And about Julien's reason for downgrading to "important" : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=7;bug=599083 Editing the ~/.wbar file to specify an existing font should not be needed. The initial ~/.wbar, or /etc/wbar.conf if such file exists, should use an existing font included with the package or installed on the system via "Depends", not "Recommends". So, in my opinion, this bug should be fixed in wheezy. But, if you want to downgrade the bug to "important", then I'm not going to the TC for this. :-) Regards, Bart Martens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
