Package: pcb-rnd Version: 2.1.3-2 Severity: normal User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: oldlibs pangox Control: block 947649 by -1
This package has a runtime dependency on libpangox-1.0-0, the Core X backend for Pango, which has been deprecated since at least 2012, is unmaintained upstream and is essentially unmaintained in Debian. Using a general-purpose graphical toolkit such as GTK or Qt, or a non-deprecated Pango backend with (such as Xft or Cairo), is recommended. The severity of this bug might be increased in future if there is an effort to remove libpangox-1.0-0 from Debian, but for the moment it's normal-severity. This dependency is likely to be as a result of using libgtkglext1-dev (see #702010). It might be possible to avoid the direct dependency by linking with -Wl,--as-needed, which it seems may have already happened in 2.1.4-2 (but that version FTBFS on arm64, i386, ppc64el and s390x due to test failures). smcv
