Source: postgresql-13 Version: 13.1-1 Tags: patch User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: rebootstrap
postgresql-13 is a central package with many dependencies. As such it is involved in architecture bootstrap via dependency cycles. Rather than working on such hard problems, I've looked into easily droppable dependencies and postgresql-13 has two: * gdb is used in debian/rules in a nocheck-guarded section. Please annotate it <!nocheck>. Such dependencies become irrelevant to bootstrapping. * docbook-xml is not used. There is a doc/src/sgml/standalone-install.xml file, but it is not built. As such the dependency is not needed. Please consider applying the attached patch. I checked that a modified postgresql-13 with these dependencies turned into Build-Conflicts exactly reproduces the original .debs. Helmut
