Version: 1:7.7+1
Severity: normal

Hi Maintainer

The xprint package has been removed from Debian. A related library is libxp, which provides an API that enables client programs to access and use an Xprint server. Since we've gotten rid of xprint, one could argue it makes sense to get rid of libxp as well. Please see bug #657253 [1].

There are templates in the xutils-dev package which cause other packages to build-depends on libxp-dev. For example, the template xorg-cf-files/Motif.tmpl contains the following lines:

#ifndef XmClientLibs
# define XmClientLibs $(XMLIB) $(XTOOLLIB) $(XPLIB) $(XLIB) $(XMEXTRA_LIBS)
#endif

...which cause '-lXp' to appear in the LDLIBS of package xtel. Please see bug #707623 [2].

Regards
Graham
