Comment (by fo):
Description from duplicate ticket #4520:
"Gparted-0.17.0 contains instructions that should belong to other package"
{{{
First of all, it isn't clear to me why does GParted page contain
instructions for building a software from OpenSSH source?
Second, these instructions belong to the OpenSSH page, with deps and
explanations on why they are necessary or what not.
Furthermore, gparted_polkit script uses "which", but the package isn't
listed as a dependency or even mentioned at all.
}}}
First, perhaps.
Second: no. It is a completely different package.
Third: clearly invalid.
So, what to do?
First: either remove completely, or create a new package ssh-askpass. Or
understand the instructions as, eg, the ones for GLU, in MESA, or some
"docs" that need download, perhaps configure, but needs make and make
install, after the real package is installed. Anyway, this already takes
care of "second".
Third: if some modification can be done is a question of preference:
remove completely, or s/which/type/ (thanks Bruce) and rename the
configuration file. And simplify the script, although the way it is is
more robust.
I will not reply to any comment by the rude man.
