Package: libcvsservice0
Version: 4:3.5.5-3
Severity: minor


libcvsservice0 is depended upon by many packages which link it in, even though
cvs functionality is not needed nor wanted. quanta is one such package.
Because libcvsservice0 depends on cvs, it must be installed as wel. 

But cvs is not actually used by libcvsservice0 until it is needed, and it will
function perfectly (doing nothing) without it. In fact Quanta did complain 
during startup, but only it because cervesia wasn't installed (again, I don't
need it), not because cvs wasn't.

The situation where a library is depended upon which itself recommand the
package it actually use happen many times within debian, and so can be relied 
upon to be accepted by all. One example is Kerberos, an other is mysql. Both 
have runtimes libs which are often installed because of some dependancy even
though neither kerberos nor mysql is installed.

please change dependancy for cvs to recommand instead of depend.

thank you.

Hi,

You filed the bug http://bugs.debian.org/405033 
in the Debian BTS against the package libcvsservice0.

Debian has switched to KDE 4 in unstable and libcvsservice0 
does not exist in KDE 4. Therefore, I am closing this bug as fixed 
in *unstable*. The bug will remain open for stable since it is
shipping KDE 3.5.

Ana
