Hi Nokubi, Hideki, Niibe, This whole issue is about dependencies and package sizes.
The relevant anthy dependencies are: libanthy0 Depends on anthy-common anthy Depends on anthy-common The relevant m17n dependencies are: libm17n-0 Depends on libanthy0 libm17n-0 Depends on m17n-db m17n-db Recommends anthy 1) Upstream agreed to modify m17n-lib API to include a flag with each input method in the list returned to the caller that states whether all the dependencies of the input method are satisfied. It's been committed to CVS. This allows m17n-db to only Recommend anthy instead of Depend on it. 2) libm17n-0 Depends on libanthy0 and libanthy0 Depends on anthy-common which is 13MBs. 3) According to http://bugs.debian.org/512204 the anthy and anthy-common split was created because libanthy0 doesn't need all the files in both anthy and anthy-common. The question I have for you is, does libanthy0 need all the 13MBs of files in anthy-common? cya, # ---------------------------------------------- Package: anthy Installed-Size: 424 Depends: anthy-common, libanthy0 (= 9100h-8), libc6 (>= 2.7), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0 ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Package: anthy-common Installed-Size: 13012 ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Package: anthy-el Installed-Size: 216 Depends: anthy, emacs23 | emacsen ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Package: libanthy-dev Installed-Size: 736 Depends: libanthy0 (= 9100h-8) ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Package: libanthy0 Installed-Size: 516 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7), anthy-common ---------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
