• Bug#265373: freeglut3: unnecessary dependance on libglut3

    From Piotr Sulecki@1:229/2 to All on Fri Aug 13 00:20:09 2004
    From: [email protected]

    Package: freeglut3
    Version: 2.2.0-8
    Severity: minor

    The empty libglut3(-dev) transition packages depend on freeglut3(-dev) packages. Ok, that's what transition packages are for. However, the
    reverse is also true. So there is no way to remove unnecessary transition packages from the system.

    Regards,

    Piotr Sulecki.

    The second stage of this glut transition will start after the release of
    sarge.
