Package uninstallable due to dependency on removed ttf-bitstream-vera

[Felix Geyer]

Meta bug for packages that depend on the removed package ttf-bitstream-vera and thus are uninstallable.
ttf-bitstream-vera is replaced by ttf-dejavu in karmic.

vdr only recommends ttf-bitstream-vera but should be patched anyway.

Re gamgi:
Have you checked that the old fonts don't get used anywhere anymore?
debian/gamgi.sh still references the fontpath for ttf-bitstream-vera and as the package ships it's own copy of the bitstream vera fonts it has it's filenames mentioned in e.g. src/io/gamgi_io.h (#define GAMGI_IO_FILENAME_VERA_SANS "Vera.ttf" and others).
This needs to be modified to use the DejaVu fonts.

(I haven't yet looked at the other packages)

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

You're right, sorry.
vdr seems to be fine. I'll post new debdiffs for the other packages.

Hi,

I've substituted your patch with the debian one, as your forgot to update one line. I also update the package to be compliance with Policy 3.8.3.

Uploaded.
Thanks for your contribution!

Please forward your change to Debian, as we really want to reduce the diff between Debian and Ubuntu. You can use submittodebian for that purpose.

Forwarded vdr fix to Debian.
mythtv-theme-metallurgy-wide and vdr-plugin-burn are only in Ubuntu.

Uploaded. Thanks for your contribution!

I added some stuff to your debdiff to make the package lintian error free (and bumped the Standards-version, as it's an Ubuntu package).

Thanks!

Hi,

According to version number, vdr-plugin-burn comes from somewhere else. A comment in the changelog speaks about e-tobi.net. Can you check and report there?
This way, we would be able to sync the packages in the next development cycle. In the meantime, I'll upload the fix in Ubuntu.

Thanks,
Fabrice
