Unity-2d packages in Raring

2013-04-01 Thread Colin Law
Just out of interest does anyone know why, on Raring, I keep getting
updates for unity-2d packages when unity-2d is, I thought, dead and
buried?

Seems odd unless you are less than 12.10 but there could always be a
deprecation period.

 I am on Raring.
 $ apt-cache policy unity-2d
 unity-2d:
   Installed: 6.12.0daily13.04.01-0ubuntu1
   Candidate: 6.12.0daily13.04.01-0ubuntu1
   Version table:
  *** 6.12.0daily13.04.01-0ubuntu1 0
 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/universe i386
 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
 
 I do notice that they are all (unity-2d, unity-2d-spread and so on)
 only a few kB each, perhaps they are just placeholders to satisfy
 dependencies that have not been cleaned up yet.  On the other hand I
 am getting updates to them every few days which seems odd.

They are transitional packages that depend on unity to smooth updates.  Every 
time unity gets updated, they get updated too.
