Package: hunspell Version: 1.6.2-1 Severity: minor Tags: upstream The hunspell binary is linked with both ncursesw and ncurses, and the latter is redundant as can be seen in the dpkg-shlibdeps warning:
,---- | dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: package could avoid a useless dependency if debian/hunspell/usr/bin/hunspell was not linked against libncurses.so.5 (it uses none of the library's symbols) `---- AFAICS this stems from the fact that the readline check in configure.ac assumes it is necessary to link with -lncurses. I'll try to work out a patch once I have the bug number. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: amd64 Kernel: Linux 4.17.0-rc4-nouveau (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages hunspell depends on: ii hunspell-de-de [hunspell-dictionary] 20161207-4 ii hunspell-en-us [hunspell-dictionary] 1:2018.04.16-1 ii libc6 2.27-3 ii libgcc1 1:8.1.0-2 ii libhunspell-1.6-0 1.6.2-1 ii libncurses5 6.1+20180210-3 ii libncursesw5 6.1+20180210-3 ii libreadline7 7.0-5 ii libstdc++6 8.1.0-2 ii libtinfo5 6.1+20180210-3 hunspell recommends no packages.
