[Debichem-devel] Bug#563792: gdis: Spurious build-depends on libgtkextra-x11-2.0-dev which is to be removed

[Neil Williams]

Package: gdis
Severity: important

gdis claims a build-dependency on libgtkextra-x11-2.0-dev which is
part of the gtk+extra2 source package. gtk+extra2 is to be removed
from Debian. (http://bugs.debian.org/563069).

However, removing the libgtkextra-x11-2.0-dev build-dependency from
debian/control does NOT affect the build of gdis in a clean sid chroot.

Therefore, so that gtk+extra2 can be removed, gdis needs to remove
this spurious build-dependency. If gtk+extra2 functionality is thought
necessary (despite the runtime package not depending on
libgtkextra-x11-2.0-0) then gdis will need to be removed alongside gtk
+extra2.

Other packages already removed or pending removal due to the removal of
gtk+extra2 include gpsim, gpsim-logic, gpsim-led, gpsim-led-graphics
and ktechlab. education-electronics also needs to tweak the Recommended
list of packages.
