Dear Release Managers,
Please allow this update to phyx so that its dependency information can be
corrected and a falsely-dependent package can be removed. More info below.
[ Reason ]
The phyx package incorrectly declares a Build Dependency on the
libatlas-cpp-0.6-dev package. The src:atlas-cpp package is obsolete since the
only packages that actually depended on it (ember and cyphesis) were not in
bullseye and have subsequently been removed even from unstable since the
code base is too unstable for inclusion in Debian [1]. The incorrect BD of
phyx on atlas-cpp is the only thing stopping atlas-cpp from also being removed
from bullseye.
[ Impact ]
If phyx is not updated then it will continue to incorrectly declare a BD on a
package that actually has nothing to do with it. That will also force atlas-cpp,
an obsolete package, to remain in bullseye. I am of the opinion that software
should be removed from Debian if it serves no purpose. Otherwise we are just
wasting space on mirrors and introducing possible security issues, all with
zero benefit for users.
[ Tests ]
I built the changed package in a bullseye sbuild chroot. It builds
identically to the version currently in bullseye and the autopkgtest
completes successfully.
[ Risks ]
The attached change is trivial. It only removes an unused BD in d/control. I
honestly can't think of any risks involved in including this update in bullseye.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [2][3]
