I don't know all the details, it was the advised solution by the release team: 12:04 < aurel32> someone following the libtiff transition? 12:05 < aurel32> some packages are in a build -> give-back loop, due to indirect build-depends to both libtiff-dev and libtiff5-dev 12:05 < aurel32> and they conflict 12:05 < aurel32> is it correct that packages should use libtiff5-dev? 12:05 < aurel32> (imagemagick in that case) 12:15 < jcristau> aurel32: no 12:15 < aurel32> jcristau: ok, so what is the correct solution here? 12:16 < jcristau> have people stop using libtiff5 12:16 < aurel32> ok, so k3d should build-depends on libtiff-dev instead of libtiff5-dev? 12:16 < jcristau> yes -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
