Bug#955839: fcitx-fbterm: unnecessarily Build-Depends on deprecated dbus-glib
Source: fcitx-fbterm
Version: 0.2.0-3
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.
fcitx-fbterm Build-Depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev, but I couldn't find
any sign of it actually *using* dbus-glib. If this analysis is correct,
please remove the Build-Depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev.
If this package has other uses of dbus-glib that I have missed, please
see [0] for how to proceed.
Thanks,
smcv
