I don't want to argue much. I do consider it a bug that installing wpasupplicant causes a setuid smartcard daemon to be installed. I believe it is an unintended consequence. It is not the best thing to happen behind the user's back. That said: - I could easily be wrong; - I am not claiming you made some bad decision before, just that this is a problem for Debian to solve (that's what the BTS is for, after all). I would propose: - if users of the library will crash or otherwise fail if pcscd is not installed, mentioning that in the package description; - otherwise, downgrading the Recommends to a Suggests and notifying the maintainers of reverse-dependencies that they should add Depends: pcscd. No doubt there are plenty of alternative fixes possible. Hope that helps, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
