Package: sun-java6 Version: 6.24-1 Severity: wishlist The xprint package is obsolete and scheduled for removal. A related library is libxp, which provides an API that enables client programs to access and use an Xprint server. Since we're getting rid of xprint, one could argue it makes sense to get rid of libxp as well.
Your package build-depends on libxp6. This situation sometimes arises historically from the time before xprint was considered obsolete, with Build-depends: libxp-dev being set in the past and then forgotten and untouched. In your case it's a bit more odd since you have a build-depends on the binary library libxp6 rather than the development library libxp-dev. This bug has been filed to prompt you to check if you really need Xprint (libxp) support in your package. You have lesstif2 and lesstif-bin depending on libxp6 and lesstif2-dev depending on libxp-dev. We'll leave libxp in the archives for the time being until you and the other packages using it have determined whether you want to keep the dependency. But we'll be removing xprint itself and other related packages now. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
