Public bug reported: The Mozc packages shouldn't depend on tegaki-zinnia-japanese, a 26.1 MB handwriting support package, after handwriting support was removed from Mozc ( https://github.com/google/mozc/issues/477#issuecomment-739475097 ). The tegaki-zinnia project is also unmaintained ( https://github.com/tegaki/tegaki/issues/13#issuecomment-301248025 ).
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Hirsute Hippo (development branch) Release: 21.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center $ apt-cache policy mozc-utils-gui mozc-utils-gui: Installed: 2.26.4220.100+dfsg-4ubuntu2 Candidate: 2.26.4220.100+dfsg-4ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2.26.4220.100+dfsg-4ubuntu2 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ apt-cache policy ibus-mozc ibus-mozc: Installed: 2.26.4220.100+dfsg-4ubuntu2 Candidate: 2.26.4220.100+dfsg-4ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2.26.4220.100+dfsg-4ubuntu2 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What you expected to happen I should not have to install the tegaki-zinnia-japanese package when I install Mozc. I shouldn't see that package in the dependency list: $ apt-cache depends ibus-mozc ibus-mozc Depends: libabsl20200923 Depends: libc6 Depends: libglib2.0-0 Depends: libibus-1.0-5 Depends: libprotobuf23 Depends: libstdc++6 Depends: libxcb-xfixes0 Depends: libxcb1 Depends: mozc-data Depends: mozc-server Depends: ibus ibus:i386 Suggests: mozc-utils-gui $ apt-cache depends mozc-utils-gui mozc-utils-gui Depends: libabsl20200923 Depends: libc6 Depends: libgcc-s1 Depends: libqt5core5a |Depends: libqt5gui5 Depends: libqt5gui5-gles Depends: libqt5widgets5 Depends: libstdc++6 Depends: mozc-data Recommends: mozc-server Suggests: <ibus-qt5> 4) What happened instead tegaki-zinnia-japanese is depended upon and I see the following: $ apt-cache depends ibus-mozc ibus-mozc Depends: libabsl20200923 Depends: libc6 Depends: libglib2.0-0 Depends: libibus-1.0-5 Depends: libprotobuf23 Depends: libstdc++6 Depends: libxcb-xfixes0 Depends: libxcb1 Depends: mozc-data Depends: mozc-server Depends: ibus ibus:i386 Depends: tegaki-zinnia-japanese Suggests: mozc-utils-gui $ apt-cache depends mozc-utils-gui mozc-utils-gui Depends: libabsl20200923 Depends: libc6 Depends: libgcc-s1 Depends: libqt5core5a |Depends: libqt5gui5 Depends: libqt5gui5-gles Depends: libqt5widgets5 Depends: libstdc++6 Depends: mozc-data Depends: tegaki-zinnia-japanese Recommends: mozc-server Suggests: <ibus-qt5> ** Affects: mozc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1920775 Title: tegaki-zinnia-japanese shouldn't be a dependency after handwriting support was removed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozc/+bug/1920775/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
