Package: mplayer-skin-blue Version: 1.6-1 The dependency of mplayer-skin-blue on mplayer is bogus and should be removed. mplayer uses data contained in mplayer-skin-blue, but not the opposite. Data does not "break" when no package uses it.
This is similar to what happens with libraries. Just because a library is "useless" by itself, we don't make them to depend on the packages using them. Moreover, this dependency creates a circular dependency, which is considered a bad thing. I realized about this after an "apt-get install mplayer" which worked followed by a "dpkg --purge mplayer" which didn't work. I really expected "dpkg --purge mplayer" to work and deborphan to do the rest. While we are at it: Are skin packages allowed to be in "libs" section? If so, that would make things easier for deborphan. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
