Package: konqueror
Version: 4.14.2
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

The Konqueror installed - and set as the default browser - by Jessie 8
DVD#1 seems to have a dependency issue:
* Its default rendering method is WebKit,
* yet the WebKit requires gstreamer and the corresponding KDE Phonon
backend phonon-backend-gsteramer, which are not installed automatically.
(Only phonon-vlc installed as default.)

This leads to Konqueror being unable to play audio for e.g. HTML5
out-of-the-box, and a lot of hunting through Google being required to find
this solution - it's taken me a couple of hours.

Perhaps sensible dependencies should be added, so that all the default
settings for audio work right away, such as this and the sound theme
mentioned in my other report.

I'm not sure if this is more an issue for the KDE team, so I apologise if
so, but I err on the side of informing Debian first (and KDE requires me to
register for some reason.)

Many thanks
D.
