[Bug 1754804] Re: "fonts-ubuntu" package is marked as non-free
This bug was fixed in the package fonts-ubuntu - 0.83-4ubuntu2 --- fonts-ubuntu (0.83-4ubuntu2) hirsute; urgency=medium * Change directly the section in the control rather than using a vendor override of the gencontrol target, that's not upstreamable to Debian but easier for now. [ Gunnar Hjalmarsson ] * debian/rules: - Don't state section "non-free" when building for Ubuntu, and prevent with that the packages from getting listed as non-free when running vrms on Ubuntu (LP: #1754804). -- Sebastien Bacher Thu, 19 Nov 2020 15:31:20 +0100 ** Changed in: fonts-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754804 Title: "fonts-ubuntu" package is marked as non-free To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bug/1754804/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1754804] Re: "fonts-ubuntu" package is marked as non-free
fonts-ubuntu is shipped by default on Ubuntu systems. It has significant reverse dependencies and cannot be uninstalled easily. Debian considers fonts-ubuntu to be “non-free” while Canonical disagrees. Recently I have seen two Ask Ubuntu questions where users have run vrms, found fonts-ubuntu to be non-free, and tried to uninstall the package: * https://askubuntu.com/q/1292336 * https://askubuntu.com/q/1292751 This situation is unfortunate, and the explanation is that the control file states "non-free". Given the difference in opinion, the control file should not state "non-free" when building for Ubuntu. ** Patch added: "fonts-ubuntu_lp1754804.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fonts-ubuntu/+bug/1754804/+attachment/5435994/+files/fonts-ubuntu_lp1754804.debdiff ** Changed in: fonts-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: fonts-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: fonts-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Tags added: patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754804 Title: "fonts-ubuntu" package is marked as non-free To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bug/1754804/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1754804] Re: "fonts-ubuntu" package is marked as non-free
Debian doesn’t consider the Ubuntu Font Licence to be free; that’s why this package was uploaded (after all these years) to non-free. ** No longer affects: vrms (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754804 Title: "fonts-ubuntu" package is marked as non-free To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bug/1754804/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
