Bug#551315: tuxtype should not recommend packages in non-free
Package: tuxtype Version: 1.7.5.dfsg1-1 Severity: serious The tuxtype package currently declares a Recommends: tuxtype-data-nonfree. The package is obviously split for a reason; as such, tuxtype should not be pulling it in by default. This is a violation of Debian Policy 2.2.1, so marking it as a serious bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages tuxtype depends on: ii libc62.9-26 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsdl-image1.2 1.2.7-2 image loading library for Simple D ii libsdl-mixer1.2 1.2.8-6+b1 mixer library for Simple DirectMed ii libsdl-pango10.1.2-4 text rendering with Pango in SDL a ii libsdl-ttf2.0-0 2.0.9-1 ttf library for Simple DirectMedia ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-4+b1 Simple DirectMedia Layer pn ttf-sil-andika none (no description available) pn tuxtype-data none (no description available) Versions of packages tuxtype recommends: pn ttf-sil-doulosnone (no description available) Versions of packages tuxtype suggests: pn ttf-devanagari-fonts none (no description available) pn ttf-malayalam-fonts none (no description available) pn tuxtype-data-nonfree none (no description available) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#551315: tuxtype should not recommend packages in non-free
tags 551315 + pending thanks Hi Steve, thanks for your bugreport. On Samstag, 17. Oktober 2009, Steve Langasek wrote: The tuxtype package currently declares a Recommends: tuxtype-data-nonfree.

This (tuxtype consisting of non-free parts) has finally been fixed in upstream svn (yay!) and will be fixed in Debian once the new release is out. I'm kind of very surprised by this, cause I know it was a correct suggests: for years, it seems that I accidently moved the tuxtytpe-data-nonfree to recommends: too, when I moved all suggested fonts there :( I'm also a bit surprised there is no lintian test to catch these mistakes. Anyway, will be fixed soon. regards, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
