Package: libinventor1
Version: 2.1.5-10-24
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

we are currently removing the old gsfonts-x11 package and replace it
by fonts-urw-base35, which contains the real fonts (replaces gsfonts)
as well as the symlinks and fonts.scale/fonts.alias voodoo, which is
needed for using the fonts in X11.

Your binary package libinventor1 currently Depends on gsfonts-x11.
It would be a good idea to change this dependency to fonts-urw-base35
(or for backward compatibility to fonts-urw-base35 | gsfonts-x11).
For the release of bookworm this shouldn't be a problem, since we ship
a dummy package gsfonts-x11 depending on fonts-urw-base35, but it
would be a good idea to change the dependency anyway soon.

Greetings
Roland
