Bug#398181: dvipng: Dependencies



Package: dvipng
Version: 1.8-1
Severity: minor
Tag: sarge

Hello,

This bug arose while trying to backport the etch version of dvipng to
sarge.

The above dvipng version can be built on on sarge but it fails to
find freetype font glyphs if the sarge versions of tetex-extra and
libfreetype6 are installed. Even in this case it works if freetype is
disabled (--freetype0 cmd-line option).

I could only get it to with libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1) when tetex-extra
is installed.

Note that if tetex-extra is not installed then tex defaults to the
bitmap fonts anyway and so the incompatability with libfreetype does
not arise.

At the moment I am undecided which of the three packages is to
"blame" so I'm keeping the bug with "dvipng".

Regards,

Kapil.
