Package: libchicken-dev Version: 4.7.0-1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
This is my first ever Debian bugreport, so please excuse any faux-pas. When installing libchicken-dev, I noticed apt-get wants to install libpcre3-dev. This seems to me to be an obsolete dependency which was never removed on the upgrade to CHICKEN 4.7.0, because starting with that release PCRE is no longer being used by CHICKEN. Instead, we ship a pure Scheme implementation of regular expressions called "irregex". Therefore, I think the libpcre3-dev dependency should be removed from libchicken-dev. If you'd like to know more, just send me an e-mail, or ask on the chicken-users mailinglist. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libchicken-dev depends on: ii libchicken6 4.7.0-1 ii libpcre3-dev 1:8.30-5 libchicken-dev recommends no packages. libchicken-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
