[Debian-med-packaging] medcon: Discrepancy between package description and dependencies

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Ben,

sorry for not caring about your bug report for so long.  We are in the
process of moving the xmedcon package into team maintenance to ensure
some better responsivitiy to bug reports.

I wonder in how far you see a contrast between the fact that a package
depends from a library that is usually used in graphical applications
and the fact that medcon contains tools for batch processing.  The
binary medcon simply has a commandline interface and so the description
is correct.

Thus I'm tempted to close this bug report except if you have other
evidence that there is some graphical interface.

BTW, bug reports concerning the package descriptions are usually at
maximum of severity minor - better wishlist if in doubt.

Thanks again for your report and sorry for the delay

     Andreas.
