Hi Matěj, Thanks for reporting the bug. It looks like an artifact from Bug #486382. Considering libgpod4-nogtk (and presumably the gtk one as well) are, as you mentioned, practically useless without the -common package, do you think libgpod-common should be bumped up to Depends for both packages instead? libgpod-common itself is pretty small (28974 on Ubuntu), so it should be pretty harmless to move it to Depends in my opinion. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin
