Bug#926376: upgrade-reports: Stretch -> Buster: some X11 transitional dummy packages aren't
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer(s),
after an upgrade from Stretch to Buster, I've found the following
transitional dummy packages not to be transitional in the sense
of "can just be removed", instead, removal of each of them
independently would remove a whole bunch of other development packages
(X11, Qt5 and GTK+, mainly):
ii x11proto-composite-dev 1:2018.4-4 all transitional dummy package
ii x11proto-core-dev 2018.4-4 all transitional dummy package
ii x11proto-damage-dev 1:2018.4-4 all transitional dummy package
ii x11proto-fixes-dev 1:2018.4-4 all transitional dummy package
ii x11proto-input-dev 2018.4-4 all transitional dummy package
ii x11proto-randr-dev 2018.4-4 all transitional dummy package
ii x11proto-xext-dev 2018.4-4 all transitional dummy package
ii x11proto-xf86vidmode-dev 2018.4-4 all transitional dummy package
ii x11proto-xinerama-dev 2018.4-4 all transitional dummy package
Expected: each package marked as "transitional dummy package" can
be removed/purged without having other packages depending on it.
Kind regards
