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.
