Public bug reported: The im-config package has an OR depends on dialog, as well as a recommends. Since im-config is in main, this pulls dialog into main.
The preferred dialog implementation in main is whiptail, which is used by everything from debconf up. All other packages in main that reference dialog, have whiptail as the preferred dependency. As a result of this dependency, dialog shows in main as owned by the desktop team (http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/m-r-package-team- mapping.html). However, I don't think the desktop team is going to work on fixing bugs such as bug #1549300. It's my recommendation that im-config should be switched over to use whiptail instead of dialog. ** Affects: im-config (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop (ubuntu-desktop) Status: New ** Changed in: im-config (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop (ubuntu-desktop) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1561614 Title: im-config should use whiptail instead of dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/im-config/+bug/1561614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
