Bug#976031: mate-desktop: Please depend and build-depend on libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev instead of libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev
Source: mate-desktop
Version: 1.24.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: split-gdk-pixbuf
In Debian 10 and older, the libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev package contains
development files for two libraries: gdk-pixbuf-2.0 and the deprecated
gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0.
In testing/unstable, it has been split into libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev
and libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-dev packages, in preparation for a new
upstream release of gdk-pixbuf-2.0 that moves gdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0
into a separate source package. libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev continues to
exist, but is now a transitional package that pulls in the deprecated
libgdk-pixbuf-xlib-2.0-dev in addition to libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev.
It looks as though mate-desktop only requires the main gdk-pixbuf-2.0
library. Please update the Depends and Build-Depends so that it only
pulls in that part, as in the attached patch.
The form suggested in the attached patch is backwards-compatible with
older Debian releases:
libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev | libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev
but if this package is unlikely to be backported, you can simplify that
to just the new package:
libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev
Thanks,
smcv
