[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#457485: gnumed-client-de: Please upgrade to LibChipcard 4.x

[Micha Lenk]

Package: gnumed-client-de
Version: 0.2.7.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I'm the maintainer of libchipcard3, which gnumed-client-de depends on.
Since some time, there are packages of Libchipcard 4.x available in the
archive, which are intended to replace Libchipcard 3.x.  I already asked
ftp-master for removal of libchipcard3 because its build dependencies
aren't satisfyable anymore[1], but discovered now, that gnumed-client-de
depends on it.

So, it would be very nice if you could switch over to libchipcard4.  As
far as I can see the gnumed-client source package does not build-depend
on libchipcard. Thus I assume you use the command line interface,
provided by libchipcard3-tool only.  AFAIK the command line interface
tool is available in libchipcard-tool too, with different binary name,
though.  So, the switch to libchipcard4 should be fairly easy.

Kind regards
  Micha
