Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package is no longer installable in stable since it depends on several firefox l10n packages that have been dropped. With the update to firefox-esr 68 in the last point release, this removal has reached buster: firefox-esr-l10n-as firefox-esr-l10n-en-za firefox-esr-l10n-mai firefox-esr-l10n-ml firefox-esr-l10n-or Cheers, Andreas
Firefox and thunderbird are quickly moving targets and often change the list l10n packages (also in stable). Please depend on the firefox-esr-l10n-all, thunderbird-l10n-all metapackages to avoid tracking the localization packages manually for parl-desktop-world and having to update perl-desktop (in stable, too) for each new firefox/thunderbird major release. Andreas
Quoting Andreas Beckmann (2019-11-26 13:30:58) Thanks for reporting this issue. Yes, forefox and thunderbird packages frequently change even in stable. The package selection needed for parl-desktop-world happens to match a metapackage provided by firefox, but that is a special case unsuitable in general for Debian parl and the underlying boxer dataset. - Jonas
