Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop
Since kubuntu-desktop installs all packages in Recommends, it would make a lot of sense to move all non-essential packages from Depends to Recommends. This will allow users to remove some packages that they may not need or in cases they would like to use own version (fro example from SVN). This have already been done in past for digikam, kipi- plugins, knetworkmanager... This will also prevent workarounds like this: http://apachelog.blogspot.com/2007/06/free-injections.html Hobbsee has provided a list of current Depends: http://rafb.net/p/RromAg15.html >From this list, I would say this are candidates for "demotion" to Recommends: amarok cdrdao cdparanoia dvd+rw-tools k3p kaffeine-xine kamera kate keep kfind kmailcvt konversation kooka kopete kpdf kpf kppp krdc krfb ksysguard ktorrent wodim Is there any side-effect of doing this? ** Affects: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- make non-essential packages Recommends and not Depends https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/119467 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
