Matching subscriptions: Ubuntu Studio Bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1214608 Title: Unnecessary thai-fonts dependency Status in phatch package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in phatch package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: 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.
