Package: alsa-utils Version: 1.1.8-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
The package depends on whiptail|dialog, but the only user of whiptail (alsaconf) is not part of the package. The only (optional) user of dialog (alsa-info.sh) explicitly calls "dialog" and does not check for whiptail. Whiptail does not provide a "dialog" command and it's not part of any alternative group. It seems that there's no reason for whiptail to be among the dependencies. Cheers. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-9-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages alsa-utils depends on: ii kmod 26-1 ii libasound2 1.1.8-1 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libfftw3-single3 3.3.8-2 ii libncursesw6 6.1+20181013-2 ii libsamplerate0 0.1.9-2 ii libtinfo6 6.1+20181013-2 ii lsb-base 10.2019051400 ii whiptail 0.52.21-1 alsa-utils recommends no packages. alsa-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
