Package: zygrib Version: 3.5.0-2 Severity: normal A workaround is to use equivs to provide a dummy zygrib-maps, and provide /usr/share/zygrib/maps with the maps in the source package (only 24M).
But as equivs doc say [1], this is not a real solution. [1] However, if functionality equivalent to P is known to be installed, this tool can be used to trick the Debian package management system into believing that package P is actually installed. NOTE: this should be considered a crude hack to work around awkward situations, not a normal solution. If you use equivs to work around bugs in other Debian packages, you should also file bug reports against those packages. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages zygrib depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-3 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.9-27 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.2-1 GCC support library ii libproj0 4.7.0-1 Cartographic projection library ii libqt4-network 4:4.5.3-4 Qt 4 network module ii libqt4-xml 4:4.5.3-4 Qt 4 XML module ii libqtcore4 4:4.5.3-4 Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.5.3-4 Qt 4 GUI module ii libstdc++6 4.4.2-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime ii zygrib-maps-dummy [zyg 1.0 <short description; defaults to so zygrib recommends no packages. zygrib suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
