Package: hdfview Version: 2.11.0+dfsg-2+b1 Followup-For: Bug #853750 Hi! Just wonder, why the bug severity is "important" and not "grave" or "critical". Hdfview is not working at all!
If package released in "stable" stretch, it is expected to work somehow, isn't it? Debian is famous for its stability, so removing non-working package is better than keeping completely broken one... It took me some time to realize that Debian released completely non-working package. Removing the broken package will save time to others. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages hdfview depends on: ii default-jre 2:1.8-58 ii java-wrappers 0.1.28 ii libjgraph-java 5.12.4.2+dfsg-5 ii libjhdf4-java 2.11.0+dfsg-2+b1 ii libjhdf5-java 2.11.0+dfsg-2+b1 ii libslf4j-java 1.7.22-1 hdfview recommends no packages.
