Bug#389195: Recommends unavailable prosper (> 1.00.4+cvs.2004.03.29-2)

[Frank Küster <frank@debian.org>]

Hi,

> Your package recommends prosper (> 1.00.4+cvs.2004.03.29-2) which is not yet
> available in unstable.

Yes, we asume that the next version of prosper will have texlive as
alternative dependencies, then it can be used with texlive, too.  This
is not a bug in texlive, the versioned recommends is just an other way
to say "we want to depend on it, but depending it would make us
uninstallable because prosper is not yet fixed".

So I think there is no bug in texlive;  if we'd drop the version from
the recommends, prosper would still be uninstallable due to the prosper
bug #349670.


Regards, Frank
