Bug#822061: kalarm: KF5 version requires plasma-workspace to work properly
Package: kalarm
Version: 4:15.12.1-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
KAlarm requires the kded module ktimezoned in order to use any time zone other
than UTC. If ktimezoned is not present, kalarm outputs the following error
message on startup:
"Time zones are not accessible: KAlarm will use the UTC time zone.
(The KDE time zone service is not available: check that ktimezoned is installed."
Without ktimezoned, it won't function properly for virtually all users.
ktimezoned (provided by the plugin file kded_ktimezoned.so) is part of the
plasma-workspace package. With the current package contents, kalarm should
therefore depend on plasma-workspace.
It might be preferable to split plasma-workspace so that kalarm can depend on a
smaller package. I don't know whether that is feasible.
