Bart, is that still needed? Hmm, this seems to be a regression even -- libgtkhtml-perl didn't exist at all in sarge, but has been added since, making the spurious build-dependency real(!). I think that should be reversed, is there really a reason to add a new perl binding for an already-orphaned GNOME 1 lib with no other reverse-deps, when that perl binding also has no reverse-deps? I certainly don't think so. Bart, you commented in bug #110849 about not being comfortable with removing binary packages, but this one has been re-added, without AFAICS any real user demand. > > and several other chains of packages also look like we should > > consider removing them once the above-mentioned packages are gone. > Maybe someone can look into this. Hmm, I've looked over the packages mentioned above, and none of the others seem to be removable. I think someone's been sneaking new GNOME1 packages into the archive when I wasn't looking. :) libcapplet is closest, only python-gnome-1.2 as a reverse-dep after the other libs we can remove are removed. python-gnome-1.2 is QA-maintained as well. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
