Bug#955848: libaccounts-glib-dev: unnecessarily Depends on deprecated dbus-glib
Package: libaccounts-glib-dev
Version: 1.23-1
Severity: normal
User: pkg-utopia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: dbus-glib-deprecation
Control: block 895291 by -1
dbus-glib is a deprecated D-Bus library with some significant design
flaws, and is essentially unmaintained. As announced in [0], I would
like to minimize its use, and eventually remove it from Debian.
libaccounts-glib appears to have been ported from dbus-glib to GDBus
as recommended in [0], but its -dev package still depends on
libdbus-glib-1-dev. Please remove that dependency, assuming it is now
unnecessary.
If this package has uses of dbus-glib that I have missed, please see
[0] for how to proceed.
Thanks,
smcv
