Package: djview
Version: 3.5.20-7
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Every time I run apt-get, it reports errors because this package's
install script apparently fails and keeps rerunning. Since this
causes apt-get to fail, which can cause other side effects for
programs or scripts which invoke apt-get, this bug is marked as
causing other packages to fail.
