Bug#345681: x-window-system-core incorrectly requires both xfonts-75dpi and xfonts-100dpi
Package: x-window-system-core
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-1
The x-window-system core package currently depends on both xfonts-75dpi
and xfonts-100dpi. In the package description for xfonts-75dpi, there is
the note:
This package and xfonts-100dpi provide the same set of fonts,
rendered at
different resolutions; only one or the other is necessary, but both
may be
installed.
xfonts-100dpi contains a mirror of the same sentence.
These packages are thus in disagreement with one another about what
dependencies exist. I suspect that the font packages are correct.
I suggest changing the relevant part of the x-window-system-core
dependency list from
"xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi"
to
"xfonts-100dpi | xfonts-75dpi".
For the record, although it is unlikely to matter: this is with kernel
2.6.11.2, compiled myself this past March from the kernel source
packages provided (according to memory which may be faulty) by Debian.
I'm tracking sid, mostly, although I'm far behind the upgrade curve in
some places. I have libc6 2.3.5-8.1.
In the equally unlikely event that more information is needed, please do
not hesitate to contact me.
