In my preliminary package, I've added a dependency on couchdb-bin and, alternatively, couchdb. According to the order, the former will be preferred if present (say, Ubuntu), otherwise the latter will be pulled in (i.e. Debian). I already contacted Sergei before I received this e-mail, about the same issue. I'd wish desktopcouch does not trigger different behaviour on the two distributions, and the solution is having a couchdb-bin in Debian too, IMVHO. > Please reconsider the decision or provide an alternative solution that does > not involve the local admin/user having to manually change the default > configuration to disable the system-wide daemon.
