From f101adc9fe1f2ac71076fb957b9d6db0c45d0ed7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Manuel Traut <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 17:50:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Don't recommend mplayer-gui (Closes: #1129763) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit mplayer-gui is no longer built by mplayer in Unstable or Testing. According to Debian Policy ยง 2.2.1, it is not allowed for a package in main to recommend a package that is not in main. In the case of alternatives, the first in the list must be in main. If a package is still in Recommends (or even Suggests), apt will keep the package installed even though it no longer is possible for the package to receive security updates. Therefore, please don't recommend mplayer-gui even as an alternative.
