Bug#885800: dia: Don't Build-Depend on libart
Source: dia
Version: 0.97.3+git20160930-6
Severity: important
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org

As announced [1], we do not intend to release Debian 10 "Buster" with
the old libgnome (and related) libraries. These libraries have been
deprecated and unmaintained for several years.
Your package build-depends on libart2.0-dev. The package builds fine
without that build-dependency, but the configure step has this output:
Libart support (PNG export): no
Please investigate whether the build-dependency can be dropped or
whether another maintained library can replace libart (like gdk-pixbuf,
cairo, or imagemagick)
