Hello! :-)
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit Alternate (command line only) and I'd like
to install Trinity's nightly builds on it.
But I can't install them because of a missing dependency :
ttf-bitstream-vera.
ttf-bitstream-vera is included in hardy, maverick, natty and oneiric, but
not in lucid.
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-bitstream-vera)
Output :
--------
alex@schreiberstein:~$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop-trinity
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kubuntu-desktop-trinity: Depends: ttf-bitstream-vera but it is not
installable
Recommends: kubuntu-docs-trinity but it is not
installable
Recommends: networkstatus-trinity but it is not
installable
Recommends: openoffice.org-trinity but it is not
installable
Recommends: skim but it is not going to be
installed
Recommends: system-config-printer-kde-trinity but
it is not installable
Recommends: plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo-trinity
but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
--------
Could you please fix it?
btw. Trinity ROCKS! It's soo amazing! Thanks for keeping KDE3 alive!!

That's a bizarre dependency. DejaVu is a modern, supported and heavily
maintained superset of the anachronism that is Vera, so as long as DejaVu is
installed or installable, Vera should be not be required.

Yes. But from some points of view DejaVu is not as "good". It will be a sad
day when Bitstream Vera is unavailable because it is considered an
anachronism.

Do you have anything to document that? Do you know what superset means?
DejaVu's available charset is vastly larger, and continues to grow, since
it's FOSS and under constant development.

It's an anachronism because it's development ceased years ago. I've not
installed it on any system in several years. Few if any would be able to
detect any difference between http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/Font/font-vera.html
loaded on a Vera-only system and a DejaVu-only system.

If you would argue that there is no difference, then what is the problem?
Yes. But from
some points of view DejaVu is not as "good".

What has that got to do with legibility?
DejaVu's available charset is vastly larger, and
continues to grow, since
it's FOSS and under constant development.
Why is bigger "better" from every point of view? Yes, if you want obscure
characters it may well be "better". But what is to stop you having both? I
have, and have done so for several years now.
You could perhaps argue with some justification that a larger character set
would be more appropriate for a dependancy. But obsolescence is irrelevant
if something is better for the job in hand, and anachronism is an
inappropriate word for something that is still used.

This thread is about dependency. Dependence on Vera is an obsolete
anachronism. Using it if available isn't.
