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.
