Bug#1122590: fcitx-dbus-status: Depends on dbus, but should probably depend on session bus instead?



Package: fcitx-dbus-status
Severity: normal
Tags: forky sid
User: dbus@packages.debian.org
Usertags: direct-dbus-dependency

This package has a direct Depends on the dbus package. This is probably 
a larger dependency than it really needs, and could interfere with use 
of the dbus-broker package as a system bus.

For details of how to replace this dependency, please see:
https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/dbus/-/blob/debian/unstable/debian/replacing-dbus-dependency.txt?ref_type=heads

Based on the package description, it looks as though this package is a 
D-Bus session service. If that's true, then dbus is the wrong dependency 
anyway: depending on dbus is not sufficient to guarantee the presence of 
a working session bus. The correct dependency for packages that require 
the session bus (like dconf-service) would be:

    default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus

If this package needs a system bus as well, then that's 
default-dbus-system-bus | dbus-system-bus.
