The package `krdc' *recommends* the package `rdesktop'. Is the package
installed? If not, and it works after installing it, I'll close this bug.
Quoting from the policy:
------>8------
Recommends
This declares a strong, but not absolute, dependency.
The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together
with this one in all but unusual installations.
------>8------
IIRC, apt-get shows which packages are recommended to install when installing
a package. If not, you should probably use aptitude or dselect.
