Package: ntfs-config Version: 1.0.1-9 Severity: important User: pkg-utopia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: halectomy
Hi, HAL has been deprecated and declared dead upstream so we want to get rid of it eventually in Debian [1]. ntfs-config has a build dependency on libhal-dev and libhal-storage-dev, so it would ftbfs once hal is removed. I can't find in the source why that build dependency is necessary. As ntfs-3g ships a /sbin/mount.ntfs symlink nowadays, mounting ntfs volumes will automatically prefer ntfs-3g, so I'm wondering if ntfs-3g is actually still useful today or if we should consider removing it.
