Package: glabels
Version: 1.93.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Glabels attempts to use scrollkeeper-update at line 8 of its postinst.
This binary is part of the scrollkeeper package, however glabels does
not declare a dependency against scrollkeeper.
As a request... please don't make glabels require scrollkeeper.
Unfortunately, most Debian-packaged GTK2 applications are Gnome-ified.
Since a Gnome install would normally contain scrollkeeper, would it be
enough to test for it, and register documentation with it if it's there,
rather than blindly requiring it?
Many of us users want to use these GTK2 applications, and many of us
have zero use for Gnome.
