Bug#742338: src:expeyes: Removal of expeyes and pygrace to remove grace and t1lib
Package: src:expeyes
Version: 3.1.8
Severity: important
grace is RC buggy due to a dependency on t1lib and using an old embedded copy
of t1lib is not a useful way to fix problems with grace. Therefore, I'm
seeking the removal of grace - in order to do that, pygrace will need to
be removed and expeyes due to pygrace.
AFAICT there is no simple way to patch expeyes to work without pygrace, so
I'm filing this bug to indicate that unless there is a way to fix expeyes,
I'll seek removal of the entire chain.
If there's no alternative suggested for this situation, I'll reassign this
bug to ftp.debian.org as an RM for expeyes in two weeks from today.
