Package: simgear2.0.0 Version: 2.0.0-1 Severity: normal While upgrading my Sid box I noticed that the dist-upgrade wanted to pull a bunch of nvidia related packages. I don't need them, since this machine does not have such a video card, and after a brief investigation it turns out the latest simgear2.0.0 has the following Depends
libalut0 (>= 1.1.0-1), libc6 (>= 2.3.2), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1, libglu1-mesa | libglu1, libjpeg62 (>= 6b1), libopenal1, libopenscenegraph65 (>= 2.8.3), libplib1 (>= 1.8.5-1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.4.0), libx11-6, nvidia-glx (>= 1.0.4349), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) I believe depending on nvidia-glx is incorrect, since it would tie the library to a bunch of nVidia-specific packages that aren't strictly required to run the software (I have run it successfully on ATI and Intel hardware). Besides, the real dependency is to "any" OpenGL libraries available, that being satisfied by libgl1 and libglu1; if nvidia-glx is not satisfying them, then a bug should be filed against that package instead of making this one depend on it. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-core2 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
