Thanks for looking!


Can we try removing that dependency since the app seems to at least
basically run without it?

It looks like some features of the app don't work even with that
dependency installed.


Yes, that sounds reasonable.  I checked the features I know people here 
are using and it seems fine.  Let's get this into testing.

I looked through the code briefly and I don't think p4vasp actually
needs to depend on libgnomeui.

If I install p4vasp without the dependency, I get this warning:

$ p4v
(p4v.py:24861): libglade-WARNING **: 19:49:37.335: Could not load
support for `gnome': libgnome.so: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory

Can we try removing that dependency since the app seems to at least
basically run without it?

It looks like some features of the app don't work even with that
dependency installed.

Bug#911204: p4vasp: depend on unmaintained libgnomeui

2018-10-16 Thread Jeremy Bicha
Source: p4vasp
Version: 0.3.30+dfsg-3
Severity: serious
User: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs libgnomeui
Tags: sid buster

As announced [1], we do not intend to release Debian 10 "Buster" with
the old libgnome (and related) libraries. These libraries have been
deprecated and unmaintained for several years.

Please port your package to GTK3 and related maintained libraries.

p4vasp was removed from Testing 9 months ago because of this issue. If
the package can't be ported away from libgnome, it will eventually
need to removed from Debian.
