Package: kde Version: 5:43 Severity: wishlist Version 5:42 of kde introduced a suggestion of x-window-system-core. Some information on this dependency can be found on http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2003/10/msg00241.html which was followed by a closed bug report asking for the now introduced dependency : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=237649 That report was good until the 20040315 reply. After, the bug title is changed to "consider SUGGESTING an xserver" while the whole thread would more suggest a recommendation. The only reference I found regarding the difference is in the Debian FAQ at http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-depends "Package A recommends Package B, if the package maintainer judges that most users would not want A without also having the functionality provided by B." If kde really only suggests X, that means that the team judges that most users who want kde would want it even without a local X server.
The lists.d.o thread actually talks about kde-core, not kde. That is another thing that should be evaluated. Are people running only kde-core (and even kdebase) less likely to want a local X server? I doubt so, and suggest that the x-window-system-core suggestion of kde is removed in favor of a x-window-system-core recommendation of kdebase. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
