Package: debian-reference-common Version: 2.80 Severity: important debian-reference-common should not recommend debian-reference, which is a "metapackage to install (all) translations of Debian Reference".
With the current situation, if the user wants to install debian-reference-fr, he will get debian-reference-common too due to the Depends, then debian-reference and all the translations due to the Recommends. In general, the user will want just one or two language versions, not all of them! If he wants all of them, then he should install debian-reference directly. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages debian-reference-common depends on: ii sensible-utils 0.0.14 Versions of packages debian-reference-common recommends: ii debian-reference 2.80 Versions of packages debian-reference-common suggests: pn calibre <none> ii firefox [www-browser] 88.0.1-1 hi firefox-esr [www-browser] 52.9.0esr-1~deb9u1 ii lynx [www-browser] 2.9.0dev.9-2 pn mc <none> ii opera-stable [www-browser] 78.0.4093.147 pn vim <none> ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3+git20210102-6 -- no debconf information -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
