Bug#439536: kde: KDE dependency error
Package: kde
Version: 5:47
Severity: normal
The KDE metapackage declares a "recommends" dependency on
x-window-system-core, but not on xorg. Thus, one can install KDE (using
e.g. apt-get install kde) without installing X, resulting in a system with a
window manager but no X server. KDE should declare a "depends"
dependency on xorg.
