Hi, Following the soname bump of libmagickcore, I now have #573972:
> pyxplot explicitly depends on libmagickcore2-extra, which no longer exists > after the recent imagemagick upload to unstable; it's been replaced by > libmagickcore3-extra. > > Please check and update your build-dependency. This is a trivial thing for me to fix in the pyxplot packaging, but the fact that pyxplot requires a sourceful upload when something it only ever calls at the command line undergoes a soname bump probably points to something wrong here. The only reason that pyxplot build-depends on libmagickcore2-extra is to get svg to png conversion functionality in imagemagick. Since pyxplot doesn't actually use any symbols itself from imagemagick at all (it just calls convert!), it shouldn't need to worry about transitions in helper utilities that it calls. Is there already a better way for me to write a depends line that brings this functionality into convert? If not, should there be? I don't really want pyxplot (and however many other package out there) to require sourceful uploads every time you need a soname bump on imagemagick :( Would "Provides: libmagickcore-extra" be a reasonable solution so that packages can depend on that instead? thanks in advance Stuart (who was tempted to clone this bug as a wishlist bug against libmagickcore3-extra but thought he'd ask first!) -- Stuart Prescott www.nanoNANOnano.net
