Package: quanta Version: 4:3.5.4-1 Severity: serious Hi,
I was cleaning out my system today and noticed that quanta recommends phpdoc, which is a transitional package. Presumably this should be changed to php-doc instead. However: I then noticed that php-doc is in non-free, which is more of a problem (and which is why I've marked this serious) -- policy states that packages in main cannot recommend or depend on contrib/non-free packages. I'm not sure what the correct solution is here; it's been some time since I was working with quanta. IIRC, in the days when I looked after it the recommends was to keep the documentation pane behaving itself. What happens is that quanta ships with php.docrc, which provides the index; thus the documentation pane gives you a full table of contents that you can navigate around, whether the real docs are actually installed or not. I guess the easiest solution is downgrade this to a suggests, and leave a note somewhere for the user to read explaining how to fix the "file not found" errors in the documentation pane (solution: install php-doc). Hmm. Actually -- having looked at this now, you get file not found even if php-doc _is_ installed. This is because the /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php symlink is broken (it points into the old /usr/share/doc/phpdoc instead of the new /usr/share/doc/php-doc). Thus even if the user does have php-doc installed, the documentation pane will refuse to show it to them. So.. apologies for the stream of consciousness here (and for what has turned out to be two bug reports in one); I'm kind of rushed ATM. My suggested solution is: 1. Change "Recommends: phpdoc" to "Suggests: php-doc" (note that both the relationship and the package name have changed); 2. Add a note to README.Debian explaining what to do if you get file-not-found errors in your documentation pane (solution is to install the relevant doc package); 3. Fix the /usr/share/apps/quanta/doc/php symlink to point to /usr/share/doc/php-doc/html instead of /usr/share/doc/phpdoc/html . Step (1) will be enough to fix the RC element of this bug, but steps (2) and (3) are easily done at the same time.
