I apologize for managing to miss this as a build-dependency in the release pocket when removing qtav. I will normally run `reverse-depend src:to-be-removed -a source` before removal but according to my shell history I failed to do so in this case. However, the bug report states: Digikam formerly depended on qtav, and it's immediate solution for this problem was to drop video playback, then psuedo-vendor and cleanup the qtav code as part of the Digikam codebase [3]. If this has happened why does there continue to be a build-dependency on libqtav-dev? Otherwise: if there's a build-dependency on libqtav-dev, why is there not also a runtime dependency on it? A brief look at the digikam 8.0.0~git20220917-0ubuntu1 indicates to me that qtav has been vendored, under core/libs/video/qtav, and that a build-dependency on libqtav-dev is no longer required. Removing the build dependency results in an unrelated failure: CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:289 (add_subdirectory): The source directory /tmp/digikam-8.0.0~git20220917/po does not contain a CMakeLists.txt file. Removing the build-dependency from the version in the release pocket results in a successful build. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
