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.

There is absolutely no requirements of you having your xserver on the same 
system as where you install your programs.  I quite often use programs on 
other machines but with their windows showed on my machine. Those machines 
does not have a monitor installed, so no need for a xserver. Recommends is 
appropriate here.

This is not a bug, closing.

How can I do for telnetting to a URL of the RO AGP front-side bus of the USB 
CD CPU over a LCD site on the monitor from the preferences inside Windows?

From MS-DOS 3.6 you need not to get access over a operating system.
