Package: xchm Version: 0.9.7-2 Severity: minor To quote policy, "Pre-Depends should be used sparingly".
/usr/bin/xchm is perfectly usable without mime-support even installed (though I can see why you'd Recommend it); it shouldn't matter whether mime-support's install-scripts are run before or after xchm's, as long as they both end by invoking update-mime. If there is some reason xchm needs a pre-dependency on mime-support, I'd expect the same logic to apply for enough other packages to justify a bug-report on mime-support... -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.hurakan Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages xchm depends on: ii chmlib 0.35-6 library for dealing with Microsoft ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwxgtk2.4 2.4.3.1 wxWindows Cross-platform C++ GUI t ii mime-support 3.28-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap -- no debconf information -- JBR Ankh kak!
