Package: mplayer-skin-blue
Version: 1.6-1
The dependency of mplayer-skin-blue on mplayer is bogus and should be
removed. mplayer uses data contained in mplayer-skin-blue, but not
the opposite. Data does not "break" when no package uses it.
This is similar to what happens with libraries. Just because a library
is "useless" by itself, we don't make them to depend on the packages
using them.
Moreover, this dependency creates a circular dependency, which is
considered a bad thing.
I realized about this after an "apt-get install mplayer" which worked
followed by a "dpkg --purge mplayer" which didn't work.
I really expected "dpkg --purge mplayer" to work and deborphan to do the rest.
While we are at it: Are skin packages allowed to be in "libs" section?
If so, that would make things easier for deborphan.
Thanks.
