StumpWM doesn't technically need sbcl. It needs an implementation of Common Lisp, and CLX (the Common Lisp X interface, basically Xlib for Common Lisp).
The stumpwm package Depends on common-lisp-controller, which helps with making sure there's a CL compiler, and cl-clx-sbcl | cmucl-source | clisp, which are the packages that contain CLX for three different CL implementations, sbcl, cmucl, and clisp, respectively. However, common-lisp-controller just Suggests sbcl, and cl-clx-sbcl just Recommends sbcl, which is why your situation is happening. Perhaps stumpwm should Depend on lisp-compiler, a virtual package Provided by sbcl, cmucl, and clisp. -- Package should depend on sbcl https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224624 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
