Bug#951063: Please replace the dependency on gsfonts by fonts-urw-base35
Package: libwmf
Version: 0.2.8.4-17
Severity: important
The binary package libwmf0.2-7 (source: libwmf) depends on the gsfonts
package and this dependency should be replaced by fonts-urw-base35.
The purpose of the gsfonts package is providing the 35 standard
PostScript fonts to Ghostscript, so that Ghostscript can render any
standards-conforming PostScript file.
The gsfonts package got replaced by the fonts-urw-base35 packages.
gsfonts is not maintained any more upstream (our package has the last
upstream source update in 2007) and the upstream source locations
mentioned in debian/copyright do not exist any more.
To get rid of the duplication and also of the unmaintained package the
dependency in libwmf0.2-7 need to get updated.
