Err no, sorry, we're not talking about a daemon or a service, but about a library, which is linked directly and indirectly by lot of KDE applications: | Package: libkio5 | Depends: [...], libnepomuk4 (...), [...] this is because the KIO dialog for overwriting a file can optionally show semantic metadata to compare the two files; note the feature just works when the semantic desktop is enabled (i.e. not just when you have virtuoso installed, but also when you have the semantic desktop *enabled* in system settings). So applications which would use KIO for handling non-local files but no semantic desktop would get virtuoso installed? No thanks. Even those who explicitly link to libnepomuk usually can just work fine without semantic desktop enabled, just with those features disabled. Either way, the dependency you proposed is really way out. If you care about having virtuoso in testing again, then cooperate with its maintainers. -- Pino Toscano
