Package: libcrypt-dsa-perl Version: 1.17-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
IMHO the package has an unneccesary dependency on Data::Random. Crypt::DSA's Makefile.PL states: requires 'Data::Random' => '0.05' if win32; Obviously my system isn't windows ;-) I checked the code, and AFAICS Data::Random is only necessary if the system does not have a /dev/random. Is this the case for any of the kernels that Debian works on? If yes, would it b possible to add the dependency on Data::Random only for these kernels? Thanks in advance for giving it a thought & also thanks for maintaining Crypt::DSA in Debian Peter -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libcrypt-dsa-perl depends on: ii libconvert-asn1-perl 0.22-2 ii libconvert-pem-perl 0.08-1 ii libdata-buffer-perl 0.04-1.1 ii libfile-which-perl 1.08-1 ii perl 5.12.4-4 ii perl-modules [libfile-spec-perl] 5.12.4-4 Versions of packages libcrypt-dsa-perl recommends: ii libdata-random-perl 0.05-4 ii libmath-bigint-gmp-perl 1.37-1 libcrypt-dsa-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
