Package: libgs9
Version: 9.00~dfsg-3
Severity: normal
Hi there!
What is the rationale for the dependency on gs-cjk-resource? The
description for the latter reads:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Description: Resource files for gs-cjk, ghostscript CJK-TrueType extension
This package contains several resource files (actually Adobe CMaps) to
use CJK TrueType fonts with gs.
.
gs-cjk enables ghostscript to handle CJK TrueType fonts through CID-keyed
font technology. In addition to this package, a language-specific CMap
package (named cmap-adobe-*) and a TrueType font package (ttf-*) is
needed.
.
Japanese: needs cmap-adobe-japan1 and ttf-kochi-mincho |
ttf-kochi-gothic.
Korean: needs cmap-adobe-korea1 and ttf-unfonts-core.
Traditional-Chinese: needs cmap-adobe-cns1 and ttf-arphic-ukai |
ttf-arphic-uming.
Simplified-Chinese: needs cmap-adobe-gb1 and ttf-arphic-ukai |
ttf-arphic-uming.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I do not nothing about CJK and I do not write anything in Japanese,
Korean or Chinese. Which also means that I have installed none of the
cmap-adobe-* packages.
This seems to me an example where you want Recommends: instead of
Depends:, as I explained (without success) on #604926:
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=yes&bug=604926#44>
Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
PS1, I reported the bug to the version which introduced the dependency
(9.00~dfsg-3), different from the one installed (9.01~dfsg-1).
PS2, gs-cjk-resource needs two packages to be fully functional:
cmap-adobe-* and ttf-*, but only the former are listed as
Recommends:, with the latter being only as Suggests:, which is IMHO
a bug, both should be at the same level, according to the

Dependency was dropped in ghostscript (9.15~dfsg-1), released in 2015.
