Package: vulkan
Version: 1.0.65.2+dfsg1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: 1
The utility "vulkan-smoketest" in the vulkan-utils package depends on layers in the libvulkan-dev package, but there is no dependency. This can be easily verified by running it with the "--validate" option:
$ vulkan-smoketest --validate
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): instance layer VK_LAYER_LUNARG_standard_validation is missing
Aborted
The easiest way to fix this is simply add a dependency, but it raises the question of why the vulkan-utils package exists. Both vulkaninfo and smoketest could reasonably just be part of libvulkan-dev, as both are really vulkan developer utilities, rather than general purpose utilities.
