[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#869126: augustus: explicit dependency on libhts1, blocks transition

[Graham Inggs]

Source: augustus
Version: 3.2.3+dfsg-1
Severity: serious

Hi Maintainer

Package augustus has an explicit dependency on libhts1, so even though
it was uploaded after libhts2, it still blocks the htslib transition
[1].

I would suggest testing whether you can simply drop the explicit
dependencies on libgsl2, zlib1g, libbamtools2.4.0, libhts1 and
libncurses5 [2], and just rely on ${shlibs:Depends} to perform its
magic.

In addition, it appears that at least bam2wig is statically linked
against libbam.a and libhts.a [3], so that should probably changed to
link against the shared libraries instead.

Regards
Graham
