[pkg-fgfs-crew] Bug#755222: fgo: invalid "Recommends" breaks apt-get source flightgear/testing

[Frank Heckenbach]

Package: fgo
Version: 1.3.1-2
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Severity: critical

The version in wheezy contains:

Recommends: flightgear (>= 2.0.0)

But flightgear does not exist in wheezy.

I tried to get its sources from testing to build it myself, but it
didn't work:

% apt-get source flightgear/testing
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Ignore unavailable target release 'testing' of package 'flightgear'
E: Unable to find a source package for

(Of course, I have a deb-src entry for jessie in my sources list.)

It took me quite a while to figure it out (basically grepping for
all occurences of "flightgear" in the lists), but indeed this
"Recommends" line is the guilty one. I don't understand exactly why
that's so, but after manually removing this line from
ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_wheezy_main_binary-i386_Packages
the "apt-get source" works (and so did building flightgear).

So please remove this "Recommends", since it can't be satisfied on
wheezy anyway. (I don't use fgo myself, and from its description it
looks like it's pointless without flightgear too, but I guess it's
too late to remove fgo from wheezy.)
