Bug#648362: uninstallable on kfreebsd-amd64
Package: gcpegg
Severity: grave
User: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd
Hi,
This package is uninstallable on kfreebsd-amd64 because of its dependency on
"open" package, which nowadays is a virtual package provided by console-tools.
I understand that this dependency is in order to use the "openvt" command,
however due to the purpose of this package, which according to its
description is very specific and difficult to understand to outsiders,
it's hard for me to figure out if this dependency can be avoided or not.
If gcpegg really can't work without openvt, please consider marking it
as Linux-specific by setting its Architecture to "linux-any". Otherwise
please let me know what is needed so we can try to find a solution.
(btw, I suggest a s/open/console-tools/ in debian/control)
