Hello Harshula! It seems that neither m17n-contrib nor m17n-db actually needs libm17n-0 to work, so it should be fine. The Recommends are OK thought I do not find them useful here (by itself, libm17n-0 does not provide any functionnality without at least one program linked against libm17n-0). I would suggest to move /usr/share/man/man1/m17n-db.1.gz from m17n-docs to m17n-db if possible. It is often better for program manpage to be in the same package as the program. This would require m17n-db to Replace m17n-docs though. Cheers, Bill. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
