zonecheck and dnsdoctor have _binary_ dependency on libyaml-ruby. # apt-cache show zonecheck dnsdoctor libyaml-ruby libruby1.8 Package: zonecheck Depends: ruby (>= 1.8), libyaml-ruby, librexml-ruby, libiconv-ruby, iputils-ping Package: dnsdoctor Depends: ruby (>= 1.8.1), libyaml-ruby, librexml-ruby, libiconv-ruby, iputils-ping Package: libyaml-ruby Source: ruby-defaults Version: 1.8.2-1 Depends: libyaml-ruby1.8 Package: libruby1.8 Provides: libsdbm-ruby1.8, libdl-ruby1.8, libpty-ruby1.8, libbigdecimal-ruby1.8, libsyslog-ruby1.8, libstrscan-ruby1.8, libiconv-ruby1.8, libracc-runtime-ruby1.8, libdrb-ruby1.8, liberb-ruby1.8, libtest-unit-ruby1.8, librexml-ruby1.8, libxmlrpc-ruby1.8, libsoap-ruby1.8, libwebrick-ruby1.8, libyaml-ruby1.8, libzlib-ruby1.8, libcurses-ruby1.8 I am requesting a removal of _source_ package libyaml-ruby. The only binary package that is built from this source is libyaml-ruby1.6 (in Ruby 1.6, YAML was an external library, in Ruby 1.8, it was included in the standard Ruby distribution). No binary packages depend on libyaml-ruby1.6. As you can see above, both zonecheck and dnsdoctor explicitly depend on ruby (>=1.8), which means that can't possibly have any use for a ruby1.6 library, what they really use is libruby1.8 which provides libyaml-ruby1.8. Actually, wishlist bugs can be filed against both packages to remove extranous dependencies (all of libyaml-ruby, librexml-ruby and libiconf-ruby are provided by libruby1.8 which will be pulled in by the ruby dependency). But this does not affect the removal of libyaml-ruby source package. -- Dmitry Borodaenko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
