Description:

djvulibre has an optdep djview4, which itself depends on djvulibre... Why is a viewer a dependency for a backend? It's like making ghostscript depend on gv, because of the pdf2ps utility...

Thanks.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

djvulibre 3.5.23-1
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  djview3 was included in djvulibre. Now that djvulibre only contains libdjvu and a few tools, I added an optdepend on djview4 so that people who are looking for the old viewer have an idea where they should look at.
