[Debichem-devel] Bug#947667: gabedit: build-depends (unnecessarily?) on deprecated libpangox-1.0-dev

[Simon McVittie]

Source: gabedit
Version: 2.5.0-1
Severity: normal
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: oldlibs pangox
Control: block 947649 by -1

This package has a build-dependency on libpangox-1.0-dev, the Core X
backend for Pango, which has been deprecated since at least 2012, is
unmaintained upstream and is essentially unmaintained in Debian.

Using a general-purpose graphical toolkit such as GTK or Qt, or a
non-deprecated Pango backend with (such as Xft or Cairo), is recommended.

The severity of this bug might be increased in future if there is an
effort to remove libpangox-1.0-dev from Debian, but for the moment it's
normal-severity.

There doesn't seem to be a runtime dependency on libpangox-1.0-0, so
perhaps the build-dependency is unnecessary?
