  If it would be better, you could take the unifont source package the
  way I put it together and make these changes:
 
  1) Delete the file debian/unifont.install (nothing else used it
  -- I just added it for this bug)
  2) Add the directory usr/share/unifont to debian/unifont-bin.install

 When I wrote the above, I didn't have a preference one way or another.
  Now I do.
 
 After thinking about this, I believe the best long-term solution is to
 leave unifont.hex as part of the unifont package, the way it is in the
 -2 release, and not placing it in the unifont-bin package.  This is
 because the nature of unifont.hex and of the unifont package in
 general are both Architecture: all and the nature of the unifont-bin
 package is definitely not Architecture: all.  With unifont.hex out
 of the unifont-bin package, that will prevent redundant copies of a 4
 Megabyte unifont.hex file (one for each architecture) from getting put
 in every single binary build.

Ok.

Bug#494473: severity of 494473 is serious

2008-08-11 Thread Anthony Fok
Dear all,

Thank you all for getting unifont 5.1.20080808-2 uploaded!  Yes, just
as Paul mentioned, I had been very busy with my work and personal
life, and I would have missed the necessary Replaces: line too; thank
you Robert for catching that.  :-)

Cheers,

Anthony

Robert,

If you'd like to perform an NMU of the unifont-5.1.20080808-2 package
that I told you about for testing, go ahead and upload it.  I realize
this is urgent.  Please let me and Anthony Fok know.

I just saw from reading about Bug #494460 that it was unifont-bin that
installed unifont.hex.  With the package I put together last night for
testing, /usr/share/unifont/unifont.hex is put in place by the
unifont package, not the unifont-bin package.  Will that still be
okay for GRUB?

I'd just have to adjust the Build-Depends.  Assuming the release team is
okay with me doing that, it's no problem for GRUB ;-)

Done.  I noticed a Replaces is missing on the unifont-bin versions that used
to include unifont.hex (this is always needed when moving files between
packages).  Since we're on a hurry, I added that for you:

  Replaces: unifont-bin ( 1:5.1.20080706-1)
