Subject: libxine1: Should recommend libxine1-x | libxine1-console

Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2007 22:03:24 +0200

Package: libxine1
Version: 1.1.8-2
Severity: important

The mess with libxine continues, it seems.  Today I was offered an
upgrade that would pull in a lot of (for me) unwanted Gnome stuff by
libxine1-plugins -> libxine1-gnome, so I said "no" and installed
libxine1-misc-plugins instead.  You will not be surprised to read that
kaffeine and xine-ui stopped working until I installed libxine1-x.

At least until backends actually add dependency on libxine1-x or
libxine1-console as mentioned in changelog.Debian, I suspect that
quite a few users will fall into this trap.

Well, that's the consequence of #439389. Thanks for reporting this, I'm
reassigning this to the relevant packages.

Frontend Maintainers: In order to ensure that partial upgrades work as
expected, the xine-lib maintainers suggest that you reupload your
packages with the following dependency added (c.f. the latest gxine
upload):

Depends: [...] libxine1-x | libxine1 (<< 1.1.8-2)

Dear totem maintainers, hi Seb! :)

Please depend in your next upload on libxine1-x and on libxine1-gnome,
to ensure that the gtk related plugins are always available when
totem-xine is installed.

Thanks for your cooperation!

I think this is actually fine -- the point was not to drop the
libxine1 dependency, but to add the dependency on libxine1-x (or an
older libxine1 version that still had the stuff which was moved to
libxine1-x in the 1.1.8-2 upload).

> I think the former was pulled in by an automatism.

Yes, dpkg-shlibdeps.

I think the bug can be closed for good.

       Sven

I don't think so. libxine1 is a meta package that declares a dependency
on libxine1-x. Hence, there's no need to pull in libxine1-x by hand. All
is done by dpkg-shlibdeps.

http://hg.debian.org/hg/xine-lib/pkg/xine-ui-0.99.5-deb/file/424185e0f08a/debian/control#l20

But the dependencies still need a cleanup.

The dependencies of xine-console look funny, too:

Depends: libaa1 (>= 1.4p5), libc6 (>= 2.4), libcaca0 (>= 0.99.beta17-1),
  liblircclient0, libxine1 (>= 1.1.8), libxine1-console | libxine1 (<< 1.1.8-2)
                            ^^^^^^^^                                ^^^^^^^^^^

The depency on libxine1, pulled in via ${shlibs:Depends} or
${misc:Depends}, doesn't sounds sensible to me, because the package
doesn't contains useful files. And if I'm right, this should pull in all
the X stuff if you install xine-console.

% dpkg -L libxine1
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/lintian
/usr/share/lintian/overrides
/usr/share/lintian/overrides/libxine1
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/libxine1

If you don't object, I would reopen this bug report and change the
ownership, if you want it.

Hm, indeed.  This dependency was supposed to be dropped after Lenny (see
#453908), but this did not happen (yet).

> Hence, there's no need to pull in libxine1-x by hand.

Packages that need plugins from libxine1-x are supposed to depend on it,
precisely so that the dependency of libxine1 on libxine1-x could be
dropped ("after Lenny").

> All is done by dpkg-shlibdeps.

Only for binaries that link against libxine.so.1, not for those loading
plugins from libxine1-x (or libxine1-console).

I don't think so.

The alternate dependency on libxine1 (<< 1.1.8-2) should just be
dropped, it is only there for partial upgrades from Etch to Lenny.

Indeed, all the useful files have been moved to a new package named
libxine1-bin, supposedly to fix circular dependencies (see #454267).
If/when #453908 gets fixed, they should probably be moved back to
libxine1 since having a library in a -bin package is rather weird.

Fine with me, but I think the actual problem is that #453908 was not
dealt with.

Thanks,

It is.

I still intend to drop libxine1's dependency on libxine1-x and
libxine1-console; however, there are still packages which should but don't
depend on either of those, so I don't think that I can do so now – though I'm
tempted. It's not as if they've not had warning.

(See bug nos. 575121 and 575124.)

That looks fine to me.

True, it doesn't, but it does ensure that you get useful plugins.

Which is why I want to remove libxine1-x and libxine1-console from libxine1's
dependency list...
