[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#695884: amd-clinfo, amd-libopencl1: potentially improper opencl-icd dependency

[Bob Bib]

Package: src:fglrx-driver
Version: 1:12-6+point-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

looks like the following recommends line is not completely correct
in "amd-clinfo" and "amd-libopencl1" packages:

"Recommends: opencl-icd | amd-opencl-icd";

"opencl-icd" is a purely virtual package provided by
"amd-opencl-icd" and "nvidia-opencl-icd";

this line perhaps should be changed to
"Recommends: amd-opencl-icd | opencl-icd"
(or even to simple "Recommends: amd-opencl-icd"),

because at the current state, it just pulls
the 1st package available by alphabetical order,
which potentially can cause problems in the future;

you can look at Nvidia case in bug #695883:
