Bug#452255: kdelibs5: needlessly depends on hal | kfreebsd-gnu | hurd



Package: kdelibs5
Version: 4:3.96.0-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I get:

12:51:19 | morn@eri:~ -> apt install -t experimental kdelibs5 hal-
[snip]
  kdelibs5: Depends: hal but it is not going to be installed or
                     kfreebsd-gnu but it is not installable or
                     hurd but it is not installable

Which is somewhat annoying, since now all KDE4 apps depend on hal on
linux. This is, according to Solid author unnecessary, so I would ask
to turn this dependency into a recommends, which is more
appropriate. The kdelibs5 works without hal, although it is probably
an uncommon scenario to be encountered without hal installed =>
Recommends.

Thanks,
    Peter.
