lablgtk's dependency on gtkxmhtml
Hello everyone, ...
Could you all (and especially Stefano) have a look at bug :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=181063
And tell me your opinion on this.
I added the libgtkxmhtml-dev dependency on Stefano's (RC) bug
report, and it is a pain because of the libpng2-dev and libpng12-0-dev
conflict.
One solution could be to downgrade the libgtkxmhtml-dev dependency to a
suggest, which would enable people to install lablgtk without
linbpng2-dev, which is suggested in this bug report. Apparently, only
lablgnome needs libgtkxmhtml-dev, and i am not sure, but i think nobody
uses lablgnome in other projects, but i may be wrong.
Other possibilities include :
o bug the libpng maintainer so that he produce parallel installable
libpng2-dev and libpng12-0-dev.
o bug the libgtkxmhtml-dev so that he provides a libpng12-0-dev
version. I wouldn't recomend this one, like said, gtk1.2 and gnome 1
stuff should be built with libpng2.
o rebuild all lablgtk using apps with lablgtk2, and especially
cameleon.
o don't do anything, and consider the nag value of this problem as a
feature which will facilitate the previous point.
I am ok with downgrading the dependency to a suggest, but would want
your opinion.
BTW, enjoy the new camlimages i NMUed for Stefano and the new advi
release.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
