[Pkg-sugar-devel] Bug#1150745: squeak-vm: recommends scratch which is not in unstable

[Carles Pina i Estany]

Subject: squeak-vm: recommends scratch which is not in unstable
Package: squeak-vm
Version: 1:4.10.2.2614+20120917~dfsg-3.1
Usertags: package-relations package-relations-recommends
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer(s),

I noticed that package squeak-vm recommends scratch, which is currently
not available in unstable.

See:

- https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/scratch

For details on when it was deleted, bug number, etc.

Actually, it is more interesting. Because I think that squeak-vm wanted
to install the "scratch" package (not in Debian currently), but it might
install with two unrelated packages I think:

carles at pinux:~$ aptitude search '~Pscratch'
p   librust-brotli-dev                                      - Compressor and decompressor for brotli written in rust - Rust sou
p   librust-scratch-dev                                     - Compile-time temporary directory shared by multiple crates and er
carles at pinux:~$

Besides perhaps dropping the "Recommends" (and leaving etoys), perhaps
the long description of squeak-vm needs to be changed:

Thank you for your time,

manually reviewed before submission. If you would prefer not to receive
such reports (for specific packages, all of your maintained packages,
etc.), please let me know. Any other feedback is welcomed as well. No
more bugreports for this missing relation will be sent.
