Bug#921489: mplayer: OSD and subtitles almost unreadable on at least x11, fbdev and fbdev2 video outputs
Package: mplayer Version: 2:1.3.0-8+b4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? Updated from Debian Jessie to Debian Buster. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I played a video file with subtitles. I toggled internal setting such as audio and subtitle track. * What was the outcome of this action? Both the subtitles and the OSD that displays track changes were almost unreadable. Screenshot available at: https://gnu.moe/fb.png * What outcome did you expect instead? I expected clear text like before. As you probably know, mplayer has quite a lot of dependencies. On irc people instructed me to use `which-pkg-broke` but that proved quite useless since it lists 261 packages as the possible cause. Before I though this problem was only on experimental since that's what some of my other machines are running but I just now made a completely clean netinst on this machine without any desktop. After the install I installed mplayer. I tested a video file with subtitles and the subtitles worked fine. Next I updated to Buster (testing). I tested the same file as before but this time the subtitles looked like in the screenshot I linked earlier. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-8-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mplayer depends on: ii liba52-0.7.4 0.7.4-19 ii libaa1 1.4p5-45 ii libasound2 1.1.7-2 ii libass9 1:0.14.0-2 ii libaudio2 1.9.4-6 ii libavcodec58 7:4.1-1 ii libavformat58 7:4.1-1 ii libavutil56 7:4.1-1 ii libbluray2 1:1.0.2-3 ii libbs2b0 3.1.0+dfsg-2.2 ii libc6 2.28-5 ii libcaca0 0.99.beta19-2+b3 ii libcdio-cdda2 10.2+0.94+2-4 ii libcdio-paranoia2 10.2+0.94+2-4 ii libcdio18 2.0.0-2 ii libdca0 0.0.6-1 ii libdirectfb-1.7-7 1.7.7-8 ii libdv4 1.0.0-12 ii libdvdnav4 6.0.0-1 ii libdvdread4 6.0.0-1 ii libenca0 1.19-1+b1 ii libfaad2 2.8.8-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.13.1-2 ii libfreetype6 2.9.1-3 ii libfribidi0 1.0.5-3.1 ii libgif7 5.1.4-3 ii libgl1 1.1.0-1 ii libjack-jackd2-0 [libjack-0.125] 1.9.12~dfsg-2 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.2-2+b1 ii liblirc-client0 0.10.1-5 ii libmad0 0.15.1b-9 ii libmpeg2-4 0.5.1-8 ii libmpg123-0 1.25.10-2 ii libogg0 1.3.2-1+b1 ii libopenal1 1:1.19.1-1 ii libpng16-16 1.6.36-2 ii libpostproc55 7:4.1-1 ii libpulse0 12.2-3 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15+dfsg2-4 ii libsmbclient 2:4.9.4+dfsg-2 ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1.2-1+b2 ii libswresample3 7:4.1-1 ii libswscale5 7:4.1-1 ii libtheora0 1.1.1+dfsg.1-14+b1 ii libtinfo6 6.1+20181013-1 ii libvdpau1 1.1.1-10 ii libvorbisidec1 1.2.1+git20180316-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1 ii libx264-155 2:0.155.2917+git0a84d98-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1+b2 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.4-1 ii libxss1 1:1.2.3-1 ii libxv1 2:1.0.11-1 ii libxvidcore4 2:1.3.5-1 ii libxvmc1 2:1.0.10-1 ii libxxf86dga1 2:1.1.4-1+b3 ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.4-1+b2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 mplayer recommends no packages.

Bug#825003: texinfo: dependency wrongly marked as recommended instead of suggested
Package: texinfo Version: 6.1.0.dfsg.1-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, When updating texinfo a few hundred MB of extra packages are installed if not using --no-install-recommnends. This is not a desirable thing on minimal installs The package in question that is marked wrongly is the "texlive-fonts-recommended". This package depends on a lot of other packages, such as x11 libraries which isn't desirable on a minimal system or a server. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unreleased APT policy: (500, 'unreleased'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: hurd-i386 (i686-AT386) Kernel: GNU-Mach 1.6+git20160502-486/Hurd-0.7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages texinfo depends on: ii libc0.3 2.22-7 ii libperl5.22 5.22.2-1+b1 ii libtext-unidecode-perl 1.27-1 ii libxml-libxml-perl 2.0123+dfsg-1+b1 ii tex-common 6.05 Versions of packages texinfo recommends: pn texlive-fonts-recommended Versions of packages texinfo suggests: pn texinfo-doc-nonfree pn texlive-base pn texlive-generic-recommended pn texlive-latex-base -- no debconf information
