Package: libprotobuf-dev Version: 3.0.0-7 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I was recently working with a golang project which used protobuf and wanted to import google/protobuf/descriptor.proto, I struggled to find the correct package because libprotobuf-dev describes itself as containing libraries for C++ development so I discounted it without checking properly. Please consider either clarifying the package description or perhaps moving *.proto to protoc-compiler (which might then mean #842158 could be closed as no longer necessary). Thanks, Ian. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libprotobuf-dev depends on: ii libprotobuf-lite10 3.0.0-7 ii libprotobuf10 3.0.0-7 ii zlib1g-dev 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 libprotobuf-dev recommends no packages. libprotobuf-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
