Package: luit Version: 2.0.20221028-1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: je...@sney.ca
Hi, As I understand from #1010337 & co, the luit binary was split into a separate package for xterm compatibility. However, bookworm still has /usr/bin/luit in x11-utils, referenced by the Breaks/Replaces in the new luit package. This gets us into some funny situations, e.g. where x11-utils can't be installed[1] because the luit package was pulled in automatically by xterm. Since, as far as I can tell, /usr/bin/luit is identical in x11-utils 7.7+5 and luit 2.0.20221028-1, the most straightforward solution is simply to drop the extra luit package from bookworm. Another option may be to leave it and change the Recommendation order in xterm, from luit | x11-utils (<< 7.7+6~) to x11-utils (<<7.7+6~) | luit . sney [1] Steps to reproduce: - Install bookworm with no desktop tasks selected - Install a window manager and xterm - Attempt to install something that depends on x11-utils, such as chromium -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.5.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages luit depends on: ii libc6 2.37-12 luit recommends no packages. luit suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
