Package: kdepim Version: 4:16.04.3+5.95 Severity: normal Dear Sandro, dear Maxy, dear Pino, dear maintainers,
A happy, peaceful and successful new year to you! Today I tried again to upgrade to KF 5.41 from experimental and aptitude stumbled over updating some -dev packages I had still installed. I removed them and was surprised that apt removed kdepim + kmail as well. Afterwards I reinstalled kdepim and saw that apt wants to draw in a lot of *-dev packages. # Actual results merkaba:~> LANG=C apt install --no-install-recommends kdepim Reading package lists...

Need to get 16.5 MB/17.4 MB of archives. After this operation, 95.1 MB of additional disk space will be used. Also the version number of the KDEPIM meta package suggests that is still for 16.04 instead of 17.08 of KDEPIM. # Expected results As kdepim is about the pre-compiled, binary version of KDEPIM I´d expect to depend on no *-dev packages. I´d expect these to be installed as build dependencies in case I want to build KDEPIM myself. Of course it may be that it is not kdepim package itself drawing in these development packages, but some package it depends on does this. Also I´d expect the version number of the meta package reflect which version of KDEPIM is going to be installed.
