Bug#363991: xfonts-base-transcoded not available any more -- update description :)



Package: xfonts-base
Version: 1:1.0.0-4
Followup-For: Bug #363991

Hi :)

Since xfonts-base-transcoded is obsolete, I think it's better to
update the package description, that currently states:

***

This package contains primarily fonts in the ISO 10646-1 and ISO
8859-1 encodings, to conserve disk space.  (A small selection of fonts
in ISO 8859-8, JIS-X0208.1983, JIS-X0208.1976, and GB2312.1980 fonts
are also included.) For other encodings, see the
xfonts-base-transcoded package.

***

I think the description should mention the fact that the -transcode
package is now merged into -base, which is scarcely mentioned anywhere
(apart from closed bugs in -transcoded's bug page); this lack of
clarity can confuse the users seeking for a package not present
anymore in the distro :-)

Hope I didn't seem harsh and I made no mess choosing an inappropriate
bug to followup too.

Keep up the good work! :)
Gabriele :-)
