Public bug reported:
Photo batch processor has a dependency of ttf-thai-tlwg which is a meta-
package that installs several thai fonts, and refuses to install without
them. English only users generally have no need for these thai fonts
and I can't find any reason why Phatch would absolutely need them
installed to be able to operate. I request that this dependency be
removed so that people who do not need them are not forced to install
them.
1)$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Release: 12.04
2)$ apt-cache policy phatch
phatch:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 0.2.7.1-1
Version table:
0.2.7.1-1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages
3) Expected to happen:
Application installs without unneeded thai fonts.
4)What happened instead:
Applications installs with unneeded thai fonts and no way to remove them
afterwards without also removing Phatch.
Additional info:
Language fonts should be optional and based on the locale configuration of the
user, not on a package requirement.
This might be an upstream issue since it seems the problem was already
reported and cleared up by the package maintainers for Fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=654867, but it doesn't
appear this dependency was removed upstream and so is still included in
Ubuntu builds.
It seems also that phatch-cli package has the same dependency, not sure
if I need to file that as a separate bug.
