the reason why vpn is only recommended is in the description: ... It supports : * Cisco-compatible VPN client (vpnc) * IPSec (freeswan, openswan, racoon) * Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) client (pptp-linux) * Virtual Private Network daemon (openvpn) ...
others complained they don't need vpnc. Formally depends is wrong, and recommends is right. Maybe Depends vpnc | openvpn | ... or kvpnc-cisco pkg? is a better compromise? bugs.debian.org contains surely also some reports about depends/recommends ;) -- Not forced to install vpnc upon installing kvpnc https://launchpad.net/bugs/72778 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
