[Debichem-devel] Bug#885633: gnome-chemistry-utils: Please drop Build-Depends on rarian-compat

[Jeremy Bicha]

Source: gnome-chemistry-utils
Version: 0.14.15-1
Severity: serious
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs rarian
Tags: sid buster patch

scrollkeeper has been deprecated and unmaintained for years. Its
replacement, rarian has been deprecated for years too. More
importantly, it doesn't seem to be needed at all. yelp can easily
display Docbook help files without any .omf files.

We do not intend to ship rarian in Debian 10 "Buster". Therefore,
please drop "rarian-compat | scrollkeeper" from gnome-system-tools'
Build-Depends. You'll also need to add --disable-scrollkeeper to the
configure flags.

I'm not actually attaching a patch, but the fix seems pretty trivial
here.
