Source: libwx-glcanvas-perl Version: 0.09-8 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
While investigating the reverse-dependency tree of webkit2gtk for #1148038, I noticed that libwx-glcanvas-perl depends on libwx-perl, but nothing in Debian depends on libwx-glcanvas-perl: >smcv@coccia ~ % dak rm -R -n libwx-glcanvas-perl >Will remove the following packages from unstable: > >libwx-glcanvas-perl | 0.09-8 | source >libwx-glcanvas-perl | 0.09-8+b2 | loong64 >libwx-glcanvas-perl | 0.09-8+b5 | amd64, armhf, i386, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x >libwx-glcanvas-perl | 0.09-8+b6 | arm64 >... >Checking reverse dependencies... >No dependency problem found. As mentioned by the libwx-perl maintainer in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1054146#42, libwx-perl is basically unmaintained upstream, and it currently has a RC bug (FTBFS). Is this package still useful, or would it be better to remove it so that developers no longer spend QA time on it? Thanks, smcv
