Source: superkb
Version: 0.23-4
Severity: normal
superkb currently Build-Depends on libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev, which has
historically included two libraries and their pkg-config metadata:
- The main gdk-pixbuf library:
gdk-pixbuf-2.0.pc, libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so, <gdk-pixbuf/*.h>
- Deprecated Xlib integration:
gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0.pc, libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so,
<gdk-pixbuf-xlib/*.h>
In preparation for upgrading the main library to a version where the
Xlib integration has been removed, I've separated these two libraries.
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev is now a transitional package depending on both.
superkb is one of a few packages that appear to be using the deprecated
Xlib integration.
In the short term, please build-depend on either
libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev | libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev,
libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-dev | libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev,
if you want backports to older Debian to be possible, or
libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev,
libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-dev,
if not. You can remove the -xlib dependency if it's present in the source
code but not actually used in the configuration used in Debian.
For the longer term, the upstream maintainers of gdk-pixbuf have deprecated
the gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0 module[0] and do not intend to maintain it further,
so it would be better if superkb can stop using it.
Thanks,
