Hi,

I will close this bug for different reasons:

This patch deletes the background file, and then uses the files at the
desktop-base package. To do it, we need to add desktop-base as
dependency of the wmaker package, but really wmaker don't needs
desktop-base to run.

Your patch says:

+       cd $(DEBTMPDIR)/$(WMSHAREDIR)/Backgrounds/ && \
+           ln -s ../../images/desktop-base/Debian.jpg Debian.jpg


Now, if we see the desktop-base files, this file don't exists
(/usr/share/images/destkop-base/Debian.jpg), but probably we should use
the link "desktop-background":

kix@osaka:/usr/share/images/desktop-base$ ls -l desktop-background
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 dic 18 01:21 desktop-background ->
/etc/alternatives/desktop-background
kix@osaka:/usr/share/images/desktop-base$ ls -l
/etc/alternatives/desktop-background
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 dic 18 01:21
/etc/alternatives/desktop-background ->
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/spacefun-wallpaper.svg

and in the manual page of wmsetbg: "wmsetbg  reads  the specified image
(XPM, PNG, jpeg, Tiff, raw PPM)", not svg file type.

Therefore:

a) IMO, desktop-base is not needed to run wmaker. We don't need it as
"Depends:", perhaps as "Suggests:"
b) Because wmsetbg don't support (yet ;-) ) svg files, then, we are not
sure that the default image can be loaded.

I added desktop-base as suggest in the wmaker package, then, probably
this "bug" should be closed:

Suggests: wmaker-data, menu, x11-apps, xosview, wterm |
x-terminal-emulator, desktop-base

Comments are welcome.

Best Regards,
kix
