• Bug#857404: dvi2ps-fontdata-ja: broken symlinks: /usr/share/texmf/fonts

    From Andreas Tille@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 18 07:50:01 2025
    Hi,

    this source package dvi2ps-fontdata was picked by the Debian TeX
    maintainers team since we also took over dvi2ps in an ITS procedure.
    You can find the current status of packaging in Salsa[1].

    I confirm the reported problem of broken symlinks and added a Depends as suggested in the bug report. Unfortunately this leads to circular
    Depends which should be avoided. I wonder whether we should rather
    merge both binary packages dvi2ps-fontdata-ja and dvi2ps-fontdata-three.
    They are both quite small (as all the other binaries) and asking for
    extra problems due to binary package split is probably not worth the
    effort.

    What do you think?

    Kind regards
    Andreas.
