Package: gnuplot Version: 4.7~2-4 Severity: normal Hi. This isn't strictly a bug, but a request. Currently the "gnuplot" package is
Depends: gnuplot-nox | gnuplot-x11 | gnuplot-qt Thus when a user says "apt-get install gnuplot", they get a gnuplot with no support for interactive, graphical output. This is surely a safe option, but it's not what most users want. I'm the author of a gnuplot frontend (feedgnuplot), and at least 3 different people sent me bug reports that were due to them accidentally installing a gnuplot without graphical output. This problem is exacerbated by gnuplot reporting no error messages at all when trying to make plots with gnuplot-nox without setting up a terminal first (another bug report coming for this). I propose that gnuplot-nox be moved to the end of the dependency list, since wanting this package is an exceptional case, not the normal one. -- debian-science-maintainers mailing list debian-science-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-science-maintainers
