I wanted to verify this. I've been looking at a number of packages which have picked up dependencies on libartsc0, libasound2, libaudio2, libaudiofile0, libsed0, libjpeg62, libpng12-0, and many others, without actually build-depending on any of the corresponding dev packages.
The common factor is that they depend on libsdl-image1.2, libsdl-mixer1.2, and/or libsdl1.2debian. Clearly they're suffering from recursive library dependency disease. The question is this: is this due to some script in the SDL packages? They're complex enough that I couldn't actually tell. The alternative possibility is of course that each of these packages generated the bad recursive list on its own, which is just as likely. I'm wondering where to file the bugs. :-) -- Nathanael Nerode <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A thousand reasons. http://www.thousandreasons.org/ Lies, theft, war, kidnapping, torture, rape, murder...
