Dear maintainer,

Your package is {build-}depending against gnome-vfs which is
deprecated for quite some times now and has been replaced by gvfs.

We are thinking about removing gnome-vfs for Buster if possible.

Could you please verify that this dependency is mandatory and if it's
not the case, could you please remove it?

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Laurent Bigonville
Hi Laurent,
verbiste depends on libgnomeui-2.0 which then depends on gnome-vfs. The package 
does not build
anymore if I remove the libgnomeui dependency, but if in the process of your 
transition you are
going to fix deps of libgnomeui, then this package will profit too.

libgnome* (that has been deprecated for years) is also on the list of the packages that the GNOME team would be happy to remove.

Do you think you could see with upstream if he could remove these dependencies? libgnome seems to be used in only tree files, I literally see a maximum of 10 calls to functions of libgnome (configuration part that can be replaced by GSettings and setting the icon).

Regards,

Laurent Bigonville
