Package: kstars
Version: 4:4.14.2-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi, when running kstars under XFCE I see a popup every time I open kstars:

    Supernove information update failed - KStars
    Python process that updates the supernova information failed with error 
code 1
    [OK]

After clicking "OK", KStars works as normal.

Using strace I determined this is due to:

    root@het:~# python 
/usr/share/kde4/apps/kstars/scripts/supernova_updates_parser.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/share/kde4/apps/kstars/scripts/supernova_updates_parser.py", 
line 26, in <module>
        from PyKDE4.kdecore import KStandardDirs
    ImportError: No module named PyKDE4.kdecore

That Python library appears to be provided by python-kde4 package.

Should kstars gain Recommends: python-kde4?

It should *not* be a Depends, because kstars is still usable without 
python-kde4.
