Bug#956766: gcin: Build-Depends (unnecessarily?) on deprecated libappindicator
Source: gcin
Version: 2.8.8+dfsg1-1
Tags: sid bullseye
Severity: important
Control: block 895037 by -1
User: pkg-ayatana-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: ayatana-appindicator
This package Build-Depends on libappindicator3-dev, which is
deprecated and unmaintained. The supported replacement appears to be
libayatana-appindicator3-dev.
It doesn't seem to have a runtime dependency on libappindicator, so perhaps
the build-dependency is unused?
Please see #895037 and
https://wiki.debian.org/Ayatana/IndicatorsTransition for more details
of this deprecation.
This bug might get escalated to 'serious' severity (making it
release-critical) if the maintainers of the Ayatana stack are serious about
getting libappindicator removed from Debian before bullseye.
