Package: ghostscript Version: 9.16~dfsg-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
since ghostscript can be used in various ways that do not require an installed font (e.g. ps2ascii), the 'gsfonts' package is not a strict dependency. the policy ยง7.2 says: > Recommends: > > This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency. > The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with > this one in all but unusual installations. as such i would recommend to demote the dependency to 'Recommends', to cater for the "unusual installation" case (e.g. limited ressources on a system that uses ghostscript for analyzing ps-files rather than to generate them) -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_AT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages ghostscript depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.58 ii gsfonts 1:8.11+urwcyr1.0.7~pre44-4.2 ii libc6 2.21-6 ii libgs9 9.16~dfsg-2 ghostscript recommends no packages.
