Is the perl dependency for the defoma code currently in ghostscript postinst? I haven't look closely at it, but is perl-base not sufficient? Could you please post a diff of this one change isolated - preferrably against the packaging work in Git? Or even better just applied directly to our Git here: git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/ghostscript.git. > Especially the second and the last change are necessarily needed in > Debian, to avoid that the CUPS packages have to be different in Debian > and Ubuntu. I do not consider Ubuntu upstream to Debian. It makes much better sense to me to do coordinated work together on the Debian package. That said, I appreciate you informing about changes in Ubuntu, I will certainly cherry-pick changes that makes sense for Debian (which might very well be all of it). (and I speak only for myself - other maintainers may feel differently) Kind regards, - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREDAAYFAkoZsEsACgkQn7DbMsAkQLghjQCfRLzJHT5+v4bXGK5YYdY2XDq1 Ql8Anip6to+HQGoc5ZUK4aLDiJeu3J0d =uTg3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
