Package: sensible-utils Version: 0.0.9 Severity: normal Good evening,
select-editor uses gettext (from gettext-base) but sensible-utils does not depend on gettext-base. This is probably because it is Priority: standard, but this is not the same as essential: yes (and such packages are skipped in some situations e.g. debootstrap). There is an additional complication: sensible-utils is Priority: required and so policy prevents you from simply depending on gettext-base. Either gettext-base needs bumping up to required, or sensible-utils down to standard. Reading the descriptions of the priority levels, I can't see why sensible-utils is required any way. I think downgrading it to required is the right thing to do, but I'd appreciate some feedback on that. (I guess that would mean I didn't get sensible-utils included in a debootstrapped install either, for example? not clear from debootstrap manpage)) -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.11-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- no debconf information -- Thanks, Jonathan Dowland, Head of Support, School of Computing Science Support Team blog: https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/compscisupport/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
