Package: libgd2
Severity: important
Version: 2.0.33-1.1
After some talking on #debian-devel, the following came to my
attention:
libgd2{,-dev} currently Depends: libgd2-noxpm{,-dev} (>= 2.0.4-2) |
libgd2-xpm{,-dev} (>= 2.0.4-2);
This means that by default someone upgrading from woody will go from a
situation where they have xpm support in libgd2, to a situation where
they do not. This may be RC severity, but I'll leave that up to the
RM's determination.
Furthermore, providing multiple -dev versions means that the
situtation facing ntop (#291701) is quite likely, where a package that
actually requires the xpm version of libgd2 can't be built because
another package Build-Depends: upon the noxpm version. In short,
there's no point at all to have the noxpm versions, since everyone
should be Build-Depends: upon the xpm ones anyway.
Possible solutions:
1) Totally drop the noxpm packages. [The splitting of the x libraries
really makes them superfluous anyway, and they're only going to become
more useless post sarge.]
2) Only have a libgd2-noxpm package, and no -dev package. [For people
who know that they really don't need xpm support at all]

As indicated already in the bug it relates only to sarge. Versioning
support has since been improved in our BTS, so closing (with indication
of the version solving it) should be ok now.
