Package: libgs9 Version: 9.00~dfsg-3 Severity: normal Hi there!
What is the rationale for the dependency on gs-cjk-resource? The description for the latter reads: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Description: Resource files for gs-cjk, ghostscript CJK-TrueType extension This package contains several resource files (actually Adobe CMaps) to use CJK TrueType fonts with gs. . gs-cjk enables ghostscript to handle CJK TrueType fonts through CID-keyed font technology. In addition to this package, a language-specific CMap package (named cmap-adobe-*) and a TrueType font package (ttf-*) is needed. . Japanese: needs cmap-adobe-japan1 and ttf-kochi-mincho | ttf-kochi-gothic. Korean: needs cmap-adobe-korea1 and ttf-unfonts-core. Traditional-Chinese: needs cmap-adobe-cns1 and ttf-arphic-ukai | ttf-arphic-uming. Simplified-Chinese: needs cmap-adobe-gb1 and ttf-arphic-ukai | ttf-arphic-uming. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I do not nothing about CJK and I do not write anything in Japanese, Korean or Chinese. Which also means that I have installed none of the cmap-adobe-* packages. This seems to me an example where you want Recommends: instead of Depends:, as I explained (without success) on #604926: <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=yes&bug=604926#44> Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca PS1, I reported the bug to the version which introduced the dependency (9.00~dfsg-3), different from the one installed (9.01~dfsg-1). PS2, gs-cjk-resource needs two packages to be fully functional: cmap-adobe-* and ttf-*, but only the former are listed as Recommends:, with the latter being only as Suggests:, which is IMHO a bug, both should be at the same level, according to the Description:... -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libgs9 depends on: ii gs-cjk-resource 1.20100103-2 Resource files for gs-cjk, ghostsc ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcomerr2 1.41.12-2 common error description library ii libcups2 1.4.5-3 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsimage2 1.4.5-3 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libgcrypt11 1.4.6-5 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgnutls26 2.10.4-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgs9-common 9.01~dfsg-1 interpreter for the PostScript lan ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.8.3+dfsg-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libidn11 1.18-1 GNU Libidn library, implementation ii libijs-0.35 0.35-7 IJS raster image transport protoco ii libjasper1 1.900.1-7+b1 The JasPer JPEG-2000 runtime libra ii libjbig2dec0 0.11-1 JBIG2 decoder library - shared lib ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libk5crypto3 1.8.3+dfsg-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - C ii libkrb5-3 1.8.3+dfsg-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii liblcms1 1.18.dfsg-1.2+b3 Color management library ii libpaper1 1.1.24 library for handling paper charact ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-1 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-10 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtiff4 3.9.4-5 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime libgs9 recommends no packages. libgs9 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
