--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-policy Version: 4.2.0.1 Severity: wishlist Thanks for maintaining debian-policy; it is one of the things that really distinguishes Debian in an excellent way! For many years, I've installed debian-policy from sid on a stable system to have it readily available, but recent versions of debian-policy have a versioned dependency that is unsatisfyable in stable: Depends: libjs-sphinxdoc (<< 1.7.6.0~), libjs-sphinxdoc (>= 1.7.6) I'm not sure exactly what necessitates a dependency on these (html documentation?). The main files of interest to me are policy.txt.gz and upgrading-checklist.txt.gz, and find it hard to believe those require libjs-sphinxdoc to read. I imagine several of the other formats (.epub, .pdf) also shouldn't require libjs-sphinxdoc. If it is plausible to downgrade to a Recommends, or split out the libjs-sphinxdoc documentation into a separate package, or the text-only documentation into a separate package, or some other resolution, that would be much appreciated! live well, vagrant -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.5 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (120, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: armhf, arm64 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-7-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages debian-policy depends on: ii libjs-sphinxdoc 1.4.9-2 debian-policy recommends no packages.
