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
