Bug#587485: musixtex: makes texlive-full uninstallable, has wrong deps/replace



Package: musixtex
Version: 1:0.114-2
Severity: important

Hi everyone,

the recent upload of musixtex wasn't well timed or well prepared:
- it makes texlive-full uninstallable, as texlive-full depends on 
  musixtexli-slurps and musixlyr, which you conflict/replace with,
  but *NOT* doing a "Provide: musixlyr, musixtex-slurps"
  which you *should* have done since you are providing it.
  Please fix that.

- furthermore, you are depending on texlive-base-bin which is not
  existent anymore in the target distribution, please either remove it
  completely, or replaces it with texlive-binaries

I might recommend contacting debian-tex-maint@lists.debian.org before
doing this kind of uploads.

Thanks and all the best

Norbert
