Public bug reported: Not minor bug.
However as far as I'm aware, usually *-doc packages aren't depended by really actual packages. They should be optional for disk space savings. However the zfs package doesn't follow the convention as follows: ryoqun@miyako:~$ aptitude show zfsutils-linux Package: zfsutils-linux New: yes State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu8 Priority: extra Section: universe/admin Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Architecture: amd64 Uncompressed Size: 720 k Depends: init-system-helpers (>= 1.18~), zfs-doc (= 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu8), libblkid1 (>= 2.16), libc6 (>= 2.14), libnvpair1linux, libuuid1 (>= 2.16), libuutil1linux, libzfs2linux, libzpool2linux Recommends: zfs-dkms, zfs-zed Suggests: samba-common-bin (>= 3.0.23), nfs-kernel-server, zfs-initramfs Conflicts: zfs, zfs-fuse, zfs-fuse:i386, zfs:i386, zfsutils-linux:i386 Replaces: zfs, zfs:i386 Provides: zfs Description: Native OpenZFS management utilities for Linux This package provides the zpool and zfs commands that are used to manage OpenZFS filesystems.
