Package: xutils Version: 1:7.3+11 Severity: wishlist Dilemma: # apt-get dist-upgrade The following NEW packages will be installed: xutils-dev The following packages will be upgraded: xutils
But I don't want xutils-dev. I don't use them. # apt-get purge xutils Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: gsfonts-x11* t1-cyrillic* ttf-arhangai* ttf-arphic-bkai00mp* ttf-arphic-bsmi00lp* ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp* ttf-arphic-gkai00mp* xpdf-chinese-simplified* xpdf-chinese-traditional* xutils* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 10 to remove and 21 not upgraded. After this operation, 42.9MB disk space will be freed. But I do want these. So apparently the only choice is to file bugs on all the packages depending on xutils, telling them to please depend on what part of the now split up xutils they really need. Perhaps the xutils maintainer would be a better person to file these bugs, as he knows what the real issues are. No package should depend on xutils anymore, even if they really need all its components, I suppose. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
