Source: gdb Version: 7.12-6 Severity: wishlist The gdb source package's Build-Depends on texlive-base is creating some build dependency cycles - for example:
texlive-base Depends on texlive-binaries texlive-bin Build-Depends on libgs-dev ghostscript Build-Depends on libopenjp2-7-dev openjpeg2 Build-Depends on dh-apache2 apache2 Build-Depends on libaprutil1-dev apr-util Build-Depends on default-libmysqlclient-dev default-libmysqlclient-dev Depends on libmariadbclient-dev-compat mariadb-10.1 Build-Depends on gdb It would be nice if gdb could be bootstrapped without the documentation. Probably the easiest way would be to split out the documentation into a gdb-doc package, and then move texlive-base to Build-Depends-Indep. -- Daniel Schepler
