[Pkg-grass-devel] depends problems with libgdal1-grass

[Hamish]

Hi,

just updating to the new libgdal-grass_1.2.5-0.dgis.unstable.4 and I
have a depends problem.

libgdal-grass (1.2.5-0.dgis.unstable.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Depend on libgrass. The grass libs have no SONAMES, so the
    dependency is not automatically included by dh_shlibdeps.
  * Make Debian GIS Project the maintainer.

libgdal-grass now depends on libgrass, and libgrass depends on grass.
So libgdal-grass effectively depends on grass.

I thought the whole point of libgdal-grass was that you didn't need
grass installed to read GRASS maps.

I only want the GDAL-grass plugin on this system. I am using a self-
compiled GRASS version which isn't installed and only exists in /home/.

I can understand libgdal-grass depending on libgrass, but does libgrass
really need to depend on grass?


any ideas?

thanks,
Hamish
