Package: x11-utils Version: 7.7+5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
* x11-utils copy of luit was superseded by luit 2.0 in 2013. * mentioned this several times to developers in X Strike Force * developers did not reply to those comments * developers could have suggested a way to address the issue As a solution to that, I propose to create a new package "luit2", and modify x11-utils to install its luit as "luit1", allowing the alternatives feature to let users select an up-to-date luit. The change to x11-utils is in bug #1003021. This bug covers the new packaging for luit. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages x11-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.33-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.1-4.2 ii libfontenc1 1:1.1.4-1 ii libgl1 1.3.4-2+b1 ii libx11-6 2:1.7.2-2+b1 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.7.2-2+b1 ii libxaw7 2:1.0.13.1-20191125 ii libxcb-shape0 1.14-3 ii libxcb1 1.14-3 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.5-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.4-1 ii libxft2 2.3.2-2 ii libxi6 2:1.8-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.4-2 ii libxkbfile1 1:1.1.0-1 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.2-2+b3 ii libxmuu1 2:1.1.2-2+b3 ii libxrandr2 2:1.5.2-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.10-1 hi libxt6 1:1.2.0-20190617 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.3-1 ii libxv1 2:1.0.11-1 ii libxxf86dga1 2:1.1.4-1+b3 ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.4-1+b2 x11-utils recommends no packages.
