[Pkg-kylin-devel] Bug#888674: ukui-indicators: probably shouldn't depend on gnome-system-tools

[Simon McVittie]

Package: ukui-indicators
Version: 1.0.3-1
Severity: normal

gnome-system-tools is unmaintained upstream: it was part of GNOME 2,
was last released in 2010 and had its most recent upstream git commit
in 2012. Because it deals with user login accounts, it is probably also
security-sensitive. This seems like a bad combination.

Its dependency liboobs currently also has a release-critical FTBFS bug
which is likely to get liboobs, gnome-system-tools, and ukui-indicators
removed from testing at some point if not fixed.

I was unable to find why ukui-indicators depends on gnome-system-tools
in a quick look through its source code. Perhaps the dependency is
unnecessary?
