Bug#1034792: libreoffice-sdbc-postgresql: cannot be coinstalled with libreoffice-nogui, which recommends it
Package: libreoffice-sdbc-postgresql
Version: 4:7.4.5-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
libreoffice-sdbc-postgresql has an odd dependency chain which prevents
its coinstallation with libreoffice-nogui. libreoffice-nogui, however,
Recommends libreoffice-sdbc postgresql. This can cause Apt to refuse to
install libreoffice-nogui alone in some cases (I haven't been able to
figure out a reproduction case other than "empty dpkg status file"), but
more relevantly prevents the coinstallation through 'apt install
libreoffice-nogui libreoffice-sdbc-postgresql'.
The dependency chain in question looks something like this:
libreoffice-nogui
Depends: libreoffice-core-nogui
Recommends: libreoffice-sdbc-postgresql
Depends: libreoffice-core
Conflicts: libreoffice-core-nogui
Can libreoffice-sdbc-postgresql be used with libreoffice-core-nogui? If
so, should -sdbc-postgresql have an Or-relation between -core and
-core-nogui? Or, is there another more tenable solution for this case?
(For the system information, I am using reportbug in a Debian chroot on
a Fedora system. It may not be entirely relevant.)
