[Mostly questions for Alex.]
thirdparty-libraries requires libmotif-dev, while thirdparty-graphics (as
modified) recommends (and originally required) inventor-dev, which
requires lesstif2-dev, which conflicts with libmotif-dev. It's currently
possible to have both -libraries and -graphics, but installing them in
that order (without having the overall -thirdparty package) will by
default cause -libraries to be removed, so I'd like to punt inventor-dev
entirely. Also, inventor-clients tries to install /usr/sbin/ivview,
which is currently an attachandrun glue script vs. the inventor locker,
which should clearly get punted. (But if we should be punting an
installed inventor for the locker version instead, let me know.)
djview recommends djvulibre-plugin which has a bunch of obsolete browser
recommendations which cause miscellaneous mayhem. I removed it
completely, since evince can also display djvu files. We can put it back
with some bogus prespecified conflicts if we really need it.
What do you think?
