[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#710205: njplot: please retire explicit lesstif2-dev build-dep

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Source: njplot
Version: 2.4-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

njplot explicitly declares a build dependency on lesstif2-dev.  At the
moment, this is merely redundant, because its build dependency
libvibrant6-dev already depends on lesstif2-dev.  However, I have just
uploaded a new version of ncbi-tools6 which switches the Vibrant
packages from Lesstif to Motif, which is (finally!) free these days;
when that makes it out of NEW, njplot will fail to build because
libvibrant6-dev will start depending on libmotif-dev, which conflicts
with lesstif2-dev.

As such, please drop lesstif2-dev from njplot's Build-Depends setting.
It might make sense to hold off on doing so until ncbi-tools6 clears
NEW so that njplot won't need a binNMU; at that point, I'd be happy to
ping this bug or simply carry out a team upload.

Thanks!
