Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hi,
All the things we still need from the libmp3splt source package are now
provided by the mp3splt source package (which I'm now the maintainer of).
It presumably didn't get automatically flagged for decrufting though,
because the new source package doesn't provide all the same binary
packages that the old one did. It's been simplified significantly given
how upstream actually maintains and releases all of this.
A test run of dak rm, correctly says we want to remove the following
packages:
$ dak rm -Rn libmp3splt
libmp3splt | 0.9.2-0.1 | source
libmp3splt-dev | 0.9.2-0.1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386,
kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
libmp3splt0 | 0.9.2-0.1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386,
kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
libmp3splt0-flac | 0.9.2-0.1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386,
kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
libmp3splt0-mp3 | 0.9.2-0.1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386,
kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
libmp3splt0-ogg | 0.9.2-0.1 | amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386,
kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mips64el, mipsel, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x
But it incorrectly complains about:
# Broken Depends:
mp3splt: mp3splt
mp3splt-gtk
Which I'm pretty certain is just it getting confused, possibly by the
circular naming of src:mp3splt now providing a libmp3splt binary package.
Either way, the things it claims will be broken, and the newer version
of libmp3splt.deb that they actually depend on, are all provided by the
src:mp3splt package now - and there's nothing else depending on the
src:libmp3splt package, it really is old cruft we should drop now.
Cheers,
Ron
