Bug#729215: Does katepart need to be a dependency?

[Diane Trout <diane@ghic.org>]

Hi,

I did some investigation, and an even simpler way to break the loop is to ask 
"why is katepart" a dependency of kdelibs5-plugins.

back in 4.7.4 Pino added:

  * Make kdelibs5-plugins depend on katepart, to make it "provide" it as it
    happened in << 4.7.

I think the dependency was added so "embedded advanced text editor" would show 
up in: System Settings -> Default Applications -> Embedded Text Editor.

I rebuilt kde4libs after removing katepart from the dependency list and 
installed the changed kdelibs5-plugins. Then I removed katepart, which also 
removed: kwrite, kate, kde-plasma-desktop, kde-standard, plasma-netbook.

I relogged and got my desktop. I then looked in System Settings,..., Embedded 
Text Editor and saw the editor chooser drop down box was empty -- until I 
reinstalled katepart (by reinstalling kde-standard)

maybe the katepart dependency could be moved from kdelibs5-plugins to one of 
the standard meta-packages?

katepart isn't really a hard dependency for kdelibs5-plugins, it's just needed 
for a sane desktop configuration.
