Bug#674692: libnepomuk4: Nepomuk complains about missing virtuoso server resp. virtuoso soprano plugin
Package: libnepomuk4
Version: 4:4.7.4-4
Severity: normal
Hi,
cleaning up my system from packages without source, I removed all the
virtuoso packages; aptitude didn't complain about any missing dependency
but since then I get from KDE the attached message:
Semantic Data Storage - Nepomuk Semantic Desktop needs the Virtuoso
RDF server to store its data. Installing the Virtuoso Soprano plugin
is mandatory for using Nepomuk.
I am NOT complaining about the fact that Virtuoso disappeared from
testing, I am complaining about the fact that Nepomuk doesn't depend on
Virtuoso but complains that it is absolutely required to work.
In my opinion, this should be at least a warrant for a "Recommends" if
not a "Depends".
I have seen that libnepomuk4 depends on libsoprano4 which depends on
soprano-daemon which _suggests_ virtuoso-minimal, but that is definitely
not a strong enough dependency, or Nepomuk shouldn't complain about a
missing Virtuoso and confuse (and annoy to be honest) Debian users.
Thanks, Eric
