Title:
Pidgin requirement of libunity9 causes issues under KDE
Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
pidgin_2.10.12-0ubuntu5.1_amd64 requires libunity9 to install.
When running under KDE, having libunity9 installed confuses other
applications.
In particular, the minimize/maximize/close window controls in Chrome and
Chromium are missing when the window are maximized.
See:https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=375650
(Comment 41 onwards).
I've uninstalled pidgin, pidgin-libnotify and libunity9.
I've downloaded the deb files pidgin_2.10.12-0ubuntu5.1_amd64.deb and
pidgin-libnotify_0.14-9ubuntu2_amd64.deb, extracted the pidgin deb.
I modified the control file to set libunity9 as a Recommended rather than
Required.
I've then repackaged it into a deb and installed via dpkg -i.
Pidgin seems to be functioning normally without libunity9 and Chrome
and Chromium are back to normal.
Did libunity9 get accidentally set as a requirement?
