Package: gnuplot-qt Version: 5.2.5+dfsg1-1 Severity: important If I understand correctly, gnuplot-qt is like gnuplot-x11, but also has Qt support. Thus it should provide gnuplot-x11 in order to satisfy some dependencies.
As an example, if I want to install maxima, apt wants to remove gnuplot-qt and replace it by gnuplot-x11, thus losing Qt support: # apt install maxima [...] The following additional packages will be installed: gnuplot-x11 maxima-share Suggested packages: texmacs maxima-doc xmaxima maxima-emacs The following packages will be REMOVED: gnuplot-qt gnuplot-qt-dbgsym The following NEW packages will be installed: gnuplot-x11 maxima maxima-share The reason is that maxima recommends gnuplot-x11. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=POSIX (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gnuplot-qt depends on: ii gnuplot-data 5.2.5+dfsg1-1 ii libc6 2.28-3 ii libcairo2 1.14.10-1 ii libedit2 3.1-20181209-1 ii libgcc1 1:8.2.0-13 ii libgd3 2.2.5-5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.1-2 ii liblua5.3-0 5.3.3-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.42.1-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.42.1-1 ii libqt5core5a 5.11.1+dfsg-6 ii libqt5gui5 5.11.1+dfsg-6 ii libqt5network5 5.11.1+dfsg-6 ii libqt5printsupport5 5.11.1+dfsg-6 ii libqt5svg5 5.11.1-2 ii libqt5widgets5 5.11.1+dfsg-6 ii libstdc++6 8.2.0-13 ii libwxbase3.0-0v5 3.0.4+dfsg-7 ii libwxgtk3.0-0v5 3.0.4+dfsg-7 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1 gnuplot-qt recommends no packages.
