    • Component/s: Packages (C)
    • None
    • Environment:
      # apt-cache policy zabbix-frontend-php
      zabbix-frontend-php:

      [...]

      # cat /etc/debian_version
      10.2

    • Sprint 60 (Jan 2020)

      Steps to reproduce:

      • Upgrade to latest zabbix-frontend-php
      • apt-get autoremove

      Result:

      **apt removes dependencies for  zabbix-frontend-php which breaks it. This happens, because the released deb misses some dependencies:

       

      dpkg-deb --field zabbix-frontend-php_4.4.4-1+buster_all.deb grep "^Depends: "Depends:php-mbstring, php-bcmath, php-xml, php5-mysql | php5-mysqlnd | php-mysql | php5-pgsql | php-pgsql, php5-gd | php-gd, php5-ldap | php-ldap, ttf-dejavu-core | ttf-japanese-gothic 

      $ dpkg-deb --field zabbix-frontend-php_4.4.5-1+buster_all.deb grep "^Depends: "Depends: php5-mysql | php5-mysqlnd | php-mysql | php5-pgsql | php-pgsql, php5-gd | php-gd, php5-ldap | php-ldap, ttf-dejavu-core | ttf-japanese-gothic

      These dependencies are actual dependencies, and their removal breaks the web frontend.

      Expected:
      Working web frontend.
