** Description changed:
- Some Debian packages depend on gnome-www-browser so please add Provides:
- gnome-www-browser . I guess you could also add Provides: x-www-browser
- but I see that fewer browsers do that.
+ [Impact]
- You can see which packages provide and depend on this virtual package
- with:
-
- apt-cache showpkg gnome-www-browser
+ Low. Some Debian packages depend on gnome-www-browser, and chromium-
+ browser should be marked as providing it (similarly, it should provide x
+ -www-browser).
For instance, cinnamon-desktop-environment depends on gnome-www-browser
and it doesn't have the chromium-browser name in the alternates (it has
Debian's chromium name instead).
+
+
+ [Test case]
+
+ The output of `apt-cache showpkg gnome-www-browser` after the "Reverse
Provides:" line should contain a chromium-browser entry.
+ Similarly for `apt-cache showpkg x-www-browser`.
+
+
+ [Regression potential]
+
+ This is adding a couple of "provides" entries to the control file.
+ Regressions could happen if other packages depending on or recommending
+ gnome-www-browser (or x-www-browser) were implicitly relying on the fact
+ that chromium-browser wasn't a candidate, but that sounds unlikely, and
+ in any case something that should be fixed in thoses packages.
** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu Eoan)
Status: Confirmed => In Progress
