Package: libsane Version: 1.0.22-6 Severity: important Hi,
a recent update of my desktop system to GNOME 3 from experimental pulled in a package depending on libcolord1, which recommends colord (which is bad enough and maybe worth a bug report on its own). However, the colord package depends on libsane, which in turn recommends libsane-extras and sane-utils. While I find it understandable to automatically pull in the former (at least it only adds two not-yet included backends) I seriously question the recommendation of the latter. A library has been installed on my system via an other package's depends. That's fine, because this package has some support for SANE. However, I think it's not fine to pull in supplementary utilities and especially not a full- blown daemon (which furthermore poses two debconf questions). So please demote the Recommends on sane-utils to a Suggests. - Fabian -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (501, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libsane depends on: ii acl 2.2.51-4 ii adduser 3.113 ii libavahi-client3 0.6.30-5 ii libavahi-common3 0.6.30-5 ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libexif12 0.6.20-1 ii libgphoto2-2 2.4.11-3.1 ii libgphoto2-port0 2.4.11-3.1 ii libieee1284-3 0.2.11-10 ii libjpeg8 8c-2 ii libsane-common 1.0.22-6 ii libtiff4 3.9.5-2 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-19 ii libv4l-0 0.8.5-6 ii makedev 2.3.1-89 ii multiarch-support 2.13-21 ii udev 172-1 Versions of packages libsane recommends: ii libsane-extras 1.0.22.2 ii sane-utils 1.0.22-6 Versions of packages libsane suggests: pn avahi-daemon 0.6.30-5 pn hplip <none> pn hpoj <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
