Bug#282325: gconf2: Please remove Build-Depends on 'libdb3-dev'

[Andreas Jochens]

Package: gconf2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


I tried to find out if the Build-Depends on 'libdb3-dev' could be
changed to 'libdb4.2-dev'. While checking this, I found that 'gconf2' 
apparently does not need 'libdb3-dev' at all to build. 
I used 'grep' to look for '#include <db.h>' or '-ldb' or something 
similar and did not find anything.
I also compared the build-logs from clean chroot builds with and without
'libdb3-dev' installed and found no difference.

Please drop the Build-Depends on 'libdb3-dev'.

Regards
Andreas Jochens
