Package: libfluidsynth-dev Version: 2.3.0-1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@pro-kevin.de
Dear Maintainer, the package depends on systemd, which (seems) not strictly neccessary, nor would it be wanted by several people (myself included - hence the bug report). I know the subject is a potential minefield and I do not wish to open the old discussions again[*] Problem: When installing libsdl-mixer2-dev (to build some software) it pulls in libfluidsynth-dev. This depends on libsystemd-dev and libsystemd0 - and this in turn collides with liblogind-compat. This makes it difficult to develop (or test) said software on non-systemd-systems. To remedy I did this: - Got the source via apt-get - removed systemd-dependencies from debian/control (very ham-fisted, I know) - rebuilt package and installed it Apparently this works, at least the software (Widelands) compiled against this new package works. Thus my guess is that the whole of systemd is not needed here, and it could be remedied with dependencies on alternative packages (like liblogind-compat, maybe?). Cheers, Joe [*] And I am very grateful to all developers and maintainers, and submit this with the utmost respect for your work. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid merged-usr: no Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: runit (via /run/runit.stopit) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libfluidsynth-dev depends on: ii libasound2-dev 1.2.7.2-1 ii libdbus-1-dev 1.14.4-1devuan1 ii libfluidsynth3 2.3.0-1 ii libinstpatch-dev 1.1.6-1 ii libjack-jackd2-dev [libjack-dev] 1.9.21~dfsg-1 ii libpulse-dev 16.1+dfsg1-2+b1 ii libreadline-dev 8.2-1 ii libsdl2-dev 2.24.1+dfsg-1 ii libsndfile1-dev [libsndfile-dev] 1.1.0-3+b1 libfluidsynth-dev recommends no packages. libfluidsynth-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
