apt warns about irssi-an and irssi-scripts packages

Open mnordhoff opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Debian/Ubuntu has an irssi-scripts package, which has a dependency on the irssi package.

I installed irssi and irssi-scripts, and later switched to irssi-an. apt complained about the broken dependency, although it still worked.

It might make sense to package an updated irssi-scripts or irssi-scripts-an package (with different metadata and up-to-date scripts), or to have the irssi-an package's metadata say it provides irssi, or something like that.

I would advise uninstalling the irssi-scripts package and managing your scripts manually or with scriptassist; especially since there is no guarantee that packages from different sources work well together
