Bug Description

Binary package hint: pinyin-database

This is a build dependency of ibus-pinyin-db-open-phrase (source: ibus-pinyin), which is in 'main'.

The package only includes a sql database file and a file with sql commands which get packed into a tarball on build time and installed into /usr/share/pinyin-database. It does not contain any executables, libraries or whatsoever.

I have checked the requirements carefully.

ibus-pinyin-db-open-phrase currently depends on pinyin-database, although the .deb just contains a tarball. It does not build-depend on pinyin-database. So it seems it's a runtime dependency rather? or is that a packging bug (seems so, since the package description also talks about "needed for building").

The package is fine for main, but before we pull in that 10 MB package onto DVDs I think ibus-pinyin needs fixing first.

Furthermore ibus-pinyin-db-open-phrase depends on a version of pinyin-database that's newer than that in lucid, and for that matter newer than that in Debian unstable. I wonder if the pinyin-database maintainer had intended to upload a newer version that ships the database in unpacked form, but forgot? I asked him on IRC.

LI Daobing has fixed this in Debian incoming. I'll sync it once it lands in unstable.

17:01 < cjwatson> the problem was that ibus-pinyin was depending on pinyin-database but not appearing to actually use it, because the dangling symlink it shipped wasn't actually pointing to anything in the pinyin-database package
17:02 < cjwatson> now, pinyin-database ships the file that's the target of the symlink in ibus-pinyin-db-open-phrase
