Subject: gnome-control-center: remove no-longer-required dependency on apg

Date: Sun, 27 Apr 2025 22:31:19 +0100

Source: gnome-control-center
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

GNOME's gnome-control-center (aka Settings) component removed[1] use of the
apg command-line password generator in Y2012.

In addition, Debian's apg maintainance indicates[2] that upstream support is
no longer available, and that it would be preferable to migrate to
alternatives.

As a result, I think we should drop the dependency on apg.  I'll offer a merge
request on Salsa to do this and will link to that from this bugreport.

Thanks,
James

From inspecting 'apt rdepends apg': the same situation exists for the Budgie
and Cinnamon variants of the component.  Cloning separate bugs for those and
reassigning appropriately.
