[Deborphan-devel] Bug#315531: deborphan: example dependencies

[Colin S. Miller]

Package: deborphan
Version: 1.7.28.3+squeeze1
Severity: normal

Hi,
what is the status of this patch?

I've been bitten by the bug, with a cyclic dependancy in xemac21.

user at debian:~$ dpkg-query -l "xemacs21*" | grep ^ii
ii  xemacs21                 21.4.22-3.1               highly customizable text editor
ii  xemacs21-basesupport     2009.02.17.dfsg.1-1       Editor and kitchen sink -- compiled elisp support files
ii  xemacs21-bin             21.4.22-3.1               highly customizable text editor -- support binaries
ii  xemacs21-mule            21.4.22-3.1               highly customizable text editor -- Mule binary
ii  xemacs21-mulesupport     2009.02.17.dfsg.1-1       Editor and kitchen sink -- Mule elisp support files
ii  xemacs21-support         21.4.22-3.1               highly customizable text editor -- architecture independent support files

user at debian:~$ deborphan -adn xemacs21 xemacs21-basesupport xemacs21-bin xemacs21-mule xemacs21-mulesupport xemacs21-support
xemacs21-basesupport (main/editors)
      xemacs21-mule
xemacs21-bin (main/editors)
      xemacs21-mule
xemacs21-support (main/editors)
      xemacs21-bin
      xemacs21-mule
xemacs21-mulesupport (main/editors)
      xemacs21-mule
xemacs21-mule (main/editors)
      xemacs21-support
      xemacs21
xemacs21 (main/editors)
      xemacs21-support

user at debian:~$ deborphan -an | grep xemacs21
user at debian:~$

I'd expect xemacs21-mule to be listed, but due
to the cyclic dependency it is not.
